Hey, it's Michael.
Before we start the show, we want to let you know that our colleague,
Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic and host of the Times podcast, Cannonball, Wesley Morris,
is going to be hosting a live event next week at the Tribeca Festival.
Wesley will be talking to the actress and activist Cynthia Nixon.
They'll be having a conversation about great works of art about New York, which makes sense.
Given Nixon's starring role in, arguably one of them, Sex and the City.
It promises to be a very fun and very smart evening.
The show is Friday, June 12th at 6 p.m., and you can get your tickets at tribecafilm.com slash audio.
