Person Place Thing Live! With Randy Cohen and Judy Collins
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
The concept behind Randy Cohen’s public radio series Person Place Thing is simple: he invites notable figures from all genres and backgrounds to discuss one person, one place and one thing about which they feel passionately.
Since people often reveal themselves most intimately when they speak not directly about themselves but about something important to them, PPT goes a step further than the traditional one-on-one interview. Person Place Thing Live! at 92YTribeca will be recorded for later broadcast, so bring your most mellifluous voice.
For this installment, Randy Cohen will be joined by noted musician and activist Judy Collins. Audience Q&A to follow.
Also part of the PPT series, Randy is joined by brothers, Phillip and Leonard Lopate in February, Rachel Dratch in March and Calvin Trillin in April.
The first season of Person Place Thing aired on WAMC Northeast Public Radio and its 23 affiliated stations earlier this year, and are available online here. Here's the guest lineup:
Dick Cavett & Jane Smiley
Susie Essman & Dave Cowens
Michael Pollan & John Hockenberry
Rickie Lee Jones & Ed Koch
Samantha Bee & RL Stine
Dan Savage & Sir Roger Bannister
Support for Person Place Thing comes from the New York Council for the Humanities.
