June 1: Remembering Herbert Stempel (famous Quiz Show Contestant)
We're sad to learn that famed quiz show contestant, Herbert Stempel, passed away on April 7, 2020 at the age of 93. Stempel rose to prominence in the 1950s as a contestant on the quiz show Twenty-One. According to Stempel, producer Dan Enright choreographed the quiz show experience by crafting Stempel's "nerdy" persona and his look, and by secretly providing Stempel with the answers to specific quiz questions. Stempel stated that he was promised a job on the show and other benefits to purposely lose to contestant Charles Van Doren, and when those promises were not kept, he approached the authorities and helped ignite what became known as the Quiz Show Scandals. Ultimately, Stempel returned to private life, working for the New York transportation system.
June 1: You better BEE-lieve it: Sam Bee on The Daily Show, launching Full Frontal, and more (interview with links to full oral interview).
We were very excited to sit down with host/comedian Samantha Bee in New York City in October, 2019. American audiences likely first met Bee as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart when she joined the cast in 2003 and made an indelible mark, whether it was interviewing gay penguins or a self-coined "homonausic" candidate for Congress. After leaving the show in 2015, she developed Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, a weekly comedy show with a unique, biting perspective that only Bee can deliver. You can watch her full two-hour interview here.
We also reached out to Bee in May, 2020, to get an update on how she has been coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is still shooting her show weekly, from her backyard:

Our work analyzes capitalism critically as a systemic problem and advocates for democratizing workplaces as part of a systemic solution. We seek a stronger, fuller democracy--in our politics and culture as well as in our economy - based on workers’ equal collaboration and shared leadership inside enterprises and throughout society.

May 18: Agnes Obel au Collège des Bernardins (2016) - ARTE Concert
A captivating and light voice in a place charged with spirituality: the exceptional concert of Agnes Obel at the Collège des Bernardins, recorded in September 2016.
Thanks to her albums Philharmonics in 2010 and Aventine in 2013, the Danish singer Agnes Caroline Thaarup known as Agnes Obel, based in Berlin, has become an essential musical figure of the current decade and the worthy heir of her models PJ Harvey or Portishead. On September 15, more than a month before the publication of Citizen Of Glass, during a Parisian concert filmed at the Collège des Bernardins, a Catholic cultural institution of Romanesque architecture on the outskirts of the Latin Quarter and classified as a heritage of historic monuments, Agnes Obel once again hid nothing of her feelings without ever showing off.
Under the vault and in the middle of the columns of the great nave of the Bernardins, ready to face the heavens, surrounded by three accomplices, the cellists Kristina Koropecki and Charlotte Danhier as well as the multi-instrumentalist Catherine de Biasio, she exclusively presented the ten new songs from Citizen Of Glass as they follow each other on the album, before revisiting three of his classics, On Powdered Ground, Smoke And Mirrors and Dorian. The talented Agnes Obel, like a mermaid capable of hiding from view, can smile well: her riddle remains intact.

A captivating and light voice in a place charged with spirituality: the exceptional concert of Agnes Obel at the Collège des Bernardins, recorded in September 2016.
Thanks to her albums Philharmonics in 2010 and Aventine in 2013, the Danish singer Agnes Caroline Thaarup known as Agnes Obel, based in Berlin, has become an essential musical figure of the current decade and the worthy heir of her models PJ Harvey or Portishead. On September 15, more than a month before the publication of Citizen Of Glass, during a Parisian concert filmed at the Collège des Bernardins, a Catholic cultural institution of Romanesque architecture on the outskirts of the Latin Quarter and classified as a heritage of historic monuments, Agnes Obel once again hid nothing of her feelings without ever showing off.
Under the vault and in the middle of the columns of the great nave of the Bernardins, ready to face the heavens, surrounded by three accomplices, the cellists Kristina Koropecki and Charlotte Danhier as well as the multi-instrumentalist Catherine de Biasio, she exclusively presented the ten new songs from Citizen Of Glass as they follow each other on the album, before revisiting three of his classics, On Powdered Ground, Smoke And Mirrors and Dorian. The talented Agnes Obel, like a mermaid capable of hiding from view, can smile well: her riddle remains intact.

"Japanese authorities faced their first large cluster of COVID-19 infections in early February when the Diamond Princess luxury cruise ship returned to port in Yokohama. Of the 3,700 passengers and crew, more than 700 were infected with the novel coronavirus, and 13 people died. NHK conducted an in-depth investigation into what happened inside the ship. It reveals a microcosm of Japan's battle against the virus, and offers important clues for managing the crisis."
