Episode notes


Cynthia Hopkins is a singer, songwriter and multi-media theatrical performer. The New York Times wrote of her most recent show, Must Don’t Whip Um: “a triumph of disciplined thinking, narrative fluidity and musical accomplishment. Ms. Hopkins’ voice is both so delicate and emotionally forceful – part Natalie Merchant, part Madeline Peryroux – that it leaves you wondering why she has ever bothered to do anything else but deploy it.” Special thanks to WNYC this week for sharing their studios with us.
