We are psyched about the long weekend, so we’re leaning into celebration.
And, on today’s show that means engaging with one of our favorite agricultural products, wine! Kate Norris is one of the winemakers at Division Wine Co., carefully crafting the grapes of the Pacific Northwest into reflections of both the Willamette Valley and surrounding areas with influences from her early years in the Loire Valley. We bring three teams of folx together for a supersized hyperlocal Thunderdome at Provisions Northampton.
We can’t celebrate without music, so Live Music Friday brings in a transatlantic duo creating bittersweet snapshots in time. Sophia St. Helen and Michael Lesko have just begun their journey of writing songs together, and we hear a bit of that new creativity before you can see them perform at The Parlor Room on May 23.
And Word Nerd Emily Brewster, resident wordster and senior editor at Merriam-Webster, gets us to look at words as an atlas and marker for location as we delve into the sound and context of American Regionalisms.
