About The Episode
Culture Show co-hosts Jared Bowen, James Bennett II and Culture Show contributor Joyce Kulhawik go over the latest headlines on our arts and culture week-in-review.
First up, Lin-Manuel Miranda cancels “Hamilton’s” upcoming run at the Kennedy Center amid leadership and ideological changes. From there it’s a look at a freedom of speech issue as the publisher of the romance novel series “Sparrow and Vine,” pulls the books amid readers’ backlash over a character expressing pro Elon Musk sentiments. Then it’s onto Meghan Markle–now Meghan the Duchess of Sussex–and her lifestyle Netflix series, which has been universally panned. Finally, it’s a conversation about Serena Williams who is now an investor in the WNBA.
