Duration:
1 hour, 30 minutes
"Finally, a public radio show that's specifically designed not for the kind of people who carry around canvas NPR tote bags. The hour you'll spend listening to host Jesse Thorn interview guests with youthful humor and enthusiasm won't feel like civic duty."--Esquire, "The Esquire 100"
Host Jesse Thorn and his guests performed live to a sold-out crowd. Guests included rock star Andrew WK, Scott Adsit from 30 Rock, singer Nellie McKay, comedian Kumail Nanjani and director Rik Cordero.
Jesse Thorn introduces stand up Comedian Kumali Nanjiani:"Close Your Eyes" performed by Nellie McKay (vocals and piano), Jay Rattman (tenor sax), Danny Cahn (trumpet), Paul Wells (drums):

Making Visible the Invisible
New York City is a raw, unbridled and unique symphonic and polyrhythmic sonic landscape, but WHAT DOES THE NEW YORK CITY SOUNDSCAPE LOOK LIKE? Hit us with your best shot and your photo could become a significant part of a city-wide photographic collaboration this August 2010 at The Greene Space.
WNYC's The Greene Space is the place for the Battle of the Boroughs, a showdown series designed to bring out the best undiscovered bands and ensembles of all genres, instrumentalists, singers, DJs, spoken word artists and performance artists in the five boroughs. Several acts from each borough were selected to perform and compete to represent their borough in the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs, where one act will win a concert in The Greene Space.
on air, online and on the street
A new destination for artists and audiences, The Greene Space was created for live performances, signature WNYC radio shows and video webcasts — with concerts, audio theatre, political and cultural discussions, visual arts, public radio events and more.
