Listen to Culture Gabfest No. 267 with Stephen Metcalf, Dana Stevens, and Julia Turner with the audio player below.
Culturefest is on the radio! “Gabfest Radio” combines Slate’s Culture and Political Gabfests in one show—listen on Saturdays at 7 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. on WNYC’s AM820.
On this week’s show, the critics discuss the death of Lou Reed, his generation-defining music, and his eternal brand of cool. Next, they turn to the Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet, starring Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad. One among many Shakespeare revivals in theater and on film this season, the production allows the gabbers to grapple with the merits of this canonical play. Finally, the critics discuss the poetry and artistry of Internet memes—can Twitter be a platform for 21st-century conceptual art?
Links to some of the things we discussed this week follow:
Dana: Aftermath, a new World War II film by Polish director Wladyslaw Pasikowski
Julia: Shakespeare reading parties (wine, cheese, and inviting Dana recommended)
