Under the Radar podcast

  • It’s time for the Emmys! HBO Max lands the most nods it’s ever received, and RuPaul becomes the most nominated host in Emmys history. Plus, there’s been plenty of critical acclaim for the new “Superman” movie, which drew big crowds – and big money – at the box office. So what’s with the controversy among right-wing circles? And how an AI-generated band got 1 million streams on Spotify in just a few weeks – it’s our pop culture news roundtable!
  • What happens when a 12-year-old African boy connects with a Black American girl after settling down in New York City’s Little Senegal? Emmy-nominated playwright Mfoniso Udofia explores that ensuing friendship in her latest project, the fifth production of nine in the Ufot Family Cycle: “Kufre N’ Quay.”
  • Summer in Boston just got a new soundtrack: the third edition of its citywide mixtape. The City of Boston’s “Dear Summer Vol. 3” features a variety of genres representing neighborhoods across the city, including up-and-comers from the Berklee College of Music, local legends and artists with Boston roots who’ve received national attention. We speak to two of its co-producers.
  • Offshore wind farms were poised to provide energy to millions in New England. Now those plans are stalled – maybe indefinitely. Broken promises are leading Rhode Island politicians to face plummeting approval ratings. Meanwhile candidates are lining up in the race to replace U.S. Representative Chris Pappas in New Hampshire. And bridges on Cape Cod and Rhode Island need more than a facelift – will the government pay up? It’s our regional news roundtable!
  • Curtis Wilson escaped his father’s troubled world and grasped his lifelong dream of becoming a cellist. Then, he almost lost it all. The protagonist of writer, educator and classical musician Brendan Slocumb’s new book “The Dark Maestro” reflects the author’s own experience as a performer. “The Dark Maestro” is our July selection for Bookmarked: the “Under the Radar” book club.
