Summer Music Preview; Katja Herbers on the Final Season of 'Evil'; 'The Birds That Audubon Missed'; A Salvadoran Cookbook

It's almost time for a summer of new music: bangers, sweaty bops, anthems, and the annual "song of the summer" debate. With new releases approaching from Charli XCX, Khelani, Tems, and more, All Of It producers Simon Close and L. Malik Anderson break down what music to be looking out for to feed your summer playlist. 

The New York City-set drama "Evil" follows a scientist, a priest, and a psychiatrist tasked by the Catholic Church with investigating potentially demonic activity around the city. Katja Herbers, who stars as doubtful psychiatrist Kristen Bouchard, joins us to discuss the final season of the show, which premieres today on Paramount +.

Scientific discovery is often a collaborative experience. But for a group of men in the early 1800s studying birds of North America, it was a messy and chaotic effort to identify and write about many different species as possible, all while trying to outdo each other. Naturalist Kenn Kaufman writes about what John James Audubon and his peers discovered (and what they missed) and how it impacts our understanding of the world today. His book is called, The Birds That Audubon Missed, and Kaufman joins us to discuss.

Trained chef and food writer Karla Tatiana Vasquez's new cookbook features recipes and traditions within the Salvadoran diaspora. It's titled, The SalviSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes and The Women Who Preserve Them. Vasquez joins us to share some of those dishes and their history before her event at the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) on Friday, May 24 at 7:00 p.m.
