Supporting Parents with Uma Thurman, Rhiannon Giddens' New Album (Listening Party), Sly Stone's New Memoir, Viet Thahn Nguyen's Memoir, Girls' Science Day

In August, Pulitzer Prize winning musician Rhiannon Giddens released her latest album, You're the One, her first record of all original songs. This comes after she won the Pulitzer last year for her opera, "Omar," written with Michael Abels. Giddens joins us in the studio for a Listening Party.

Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) is a new memoir from Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Sly Stone, which traces the artist's life from his birth as Sylvester Stewart in 1940s Texas, through an early doo-wop career and his rise as dynamic frontman of the Family Stone, to the present day and his declining health. Phunne Stone, Sly's daughter and a vocalist in the Family Stone, joins us with the memoir's co-author, music journalist Ben Greenman.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thahn Nguyen joins us to discuss his new memoir, A Man of Two Faces, which tells the story of his childhood in Vietnam, his time as a refugee, and his experience coming to America, including the harrowing story of how his parents were attacked by a gunman while working.

25 years ago, Julie Burns founded Room to Grow, a Bronx-based nonprofit that helps low-income families through the early years of a baby's life. Her pregnant neighbor at the time was actress Uma Thurman, who has supported the organization ever since. In this latest installment of "But enough about me," a series interviewing actors about issues they care about, we talk about their work together and the parenting advice that really matters as they near the organization's 25th anniversary gala.

Girls' Science Day is coming up at Columbia University. This fall’s event will be held November 11th, with experiments and demonstrations to spark middle schoolers’ curiosities, and show them science has no gender. We talk to Girls' Science Day co-chair Caitlin Therien, also a PhD student in biomedical engineering, about the event and the importance of getting girls involved in science from a young age.
