    The characters define the history. And in August of 1896, as New York sweated through one of the hottest months on written record, two of those pivotal characters come center stage as JP Morgan and Teddy Roosevelt find themselves ensnared in a murder investigation that holds this Island hostage in the midst of a Presidential election year. You never heard of this event? Well, then, you need to tune in and meet the brilliant writer who has recounted this fascinating piece of history for us in his new book HOT TIME. Island Voices welcomes brilliant author Gerard Helferich (aka: WH Flint).

  • Actress Indira Varma

    Actress Indira Varma
    Jul 31 2021
    After coming out of the gate very strong in 1996 in the provocative and seductive, I also think, sad film Kama Sutra, she astutely perceived the realities of type-casting, she turned away many, many early offers and turned to an entirely different medium -- the stage -- and over the ensuing years established herself as one of the foremost theatre actresses anywhere. Whether you've seen her in Game of Thrones, Rome, ABC's For Life, anywhere on the stage or in the upcoming THIS WAY UP (Hulu) or OBI WAN (Disney+), then you know what a dynamic talent she is -- as well as a lovely spirit, as you will see. Come along to hear all about her remarkable career that shows absolutely no sign of slowing. Dames en heren, I present to you, the one and only Indira Varma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbGjGgkYDvc&t=246s https://linktr.ee/Thepodcastisland https://deadline.com/2021/03/obi-wan-kenobi-series-star-wars-game-of-thrones-indira-varma-disney-plus-1234704207/ @indyv9 instagram @indypindy9 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0890055/

    Singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright III
    Jul 2 2021
    Loudon Wainwright III has been singing and songwriting for over fifty years. His dozens of studio albums are complemented by several live albums. And more recently has emerged yet another dimension to this multi-dimensional career with "I'd Rather Lead a Band"  (http://www.lw3.com/album/id-rather-le...) a collaboration with orchestra leader Vince Giordano, a project that introduces an entire new musical genre for Loudy, bringing us his personalized version of "the great American songbook" of old-time standards: A Ship Without a Sail, Ain't Misbehaving, My Blue Heaven and many more. And after vowing to "never be a writer" like his famous writer father, he has done just that by penning his own, hilarious autobiography "Liner Notes" which is a must on Audible.com (https://www.audible.com/pd/Liner-Note...) Loudy also just happens to have some deep, DEEP roots in this city -- not just in "New York" but going back all the way to "New Netherland."  (This particular family connection even sort of blew me away :)  Join us for a retrospective on this inimitably self-styled "one-man guy", discussing the likes of Harry Chapin, Warren Zevon, "Dylan in 1963", dead skunks, along with Loudy's large and illustriously musical family.   Loudon Wainwright III is a living part of this incredible city's rich history. Climb aboard and meet this uniquely talented "rascal" of a performer whose incredible career just seems to keep on going and going...
