After years of waiting, the wild rollercoaster ride that is "Severance" just aired its second season finale. Erin Qualey, a freelance writer and licensed therapist, has been recapping each episode of the season for Vulture. She analyzes the finale with us, and listeners share their theories, thoughts, and predictions for season three.

Ariel Loh is a locally based producer and mixing/mastering engineer. At the beginning of 2025, she became the first openly trans Asian-American woman to win a Grammy. She joins us for another installment of our Women’s History Month series, Equalizers: Women in Music Production.

The new musical “Buena Vista Social Club” is now on Broadway after an acclaimed off-Broadway run. The show follows a group of Cuban musicians coming together to record the now-famous 1997 album Buena Vista Social Club. Marco Ramirez wrote the book for the musical, and Natalie Venetia Belcon stars as Omara, a vocalist convinced to come out of retirement to work on the album. Ramirez and Belcon discuss the production, which is running now at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater.

It’s that period of time in which millions of people try to balance their work lives with... surreptitiously watching hours of live basketball.

Sports reporter Priya Desai explains why it's having a cultural moment — and we want to know how you got into it.
