When you read hundreds of books a year, you develop a system.

Starting some Philly-San Antonio beef…what say you, @texaspublicradio @klrntv?

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must postpone the Philadelphia in Paper: A Pop-Up Exhibit at the Parkway Central Library event that was scheduled for tonight, May 14, 2026.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We hope to reschedule this event sometime in the near future. Please visit whyy.org/events for updates about the rescheduled date.

Recently, @buffalosabres megafan Scott Lee went viral for showing off his 30-pound life-like steel replica Stanley Cup outside of KeyBank Center in Buffalo. Fans have been loving taking pictures with it and drinking out of it.

Scott and his custom Cup have been traveling with the team as the Sabres make their way through the playoffs. After a 14-year drought, many fans say the team is well on its way to becoming champions. We sit down with Scott to hear how he convinced his dad to make the Cup and what a win would mean to the city of Buffalo.

Boots Riley’s new film, ‘I Love Boosters,’ stars Keke Palmer as the leader of a crew of women shoplifters in the Bay Area who steal from luxury stores and sell the goods cheap to people who can't afford retail. 20 years before the movie, Riley wrote a song by the same name with his hip-hop group The Coup. The song is a love letter to shoplifters, or boosters, as they're called. Riley spoke with @tonyatalks about why his music, shows, and films -- including the 2018 movie ‘Sorry To Bother You’ -- continue to explore the contradictions that capitalism produces. Riley was a labor organizer in his teens.

You can take a stroll along Philly's 250th-themed "cocktail trail" this summer, and mark the occasion just as our forefathers probably intended.

Joanna Stern is not a robot. She’s a tech writer who sort of became a robot, spending a year relying on AI. It diagnosed her mammogram, responded to messages, folded her t-shirts and served as a boyfriend. Stern tells Terry Gross what she learned about AI’s current capabilities. Her new book is 'I Am Not a Robot.'

Philadelphia soul singer Barbara Mason is getting the TIkTok treatment.

Instead of forcing positivity and control, Marisa Renee Lee says we should lean into the unknown during unforeseen dark times.

In her new book she writes about her own experience with grief throughout her life and her chronic illness of long Covid, grappling with how to navigate life’s unstable and overwhelming moments, and ultimately, how to thrive.

Lee previously served as a deputy director in the Obama White House. Her book is "Waiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty."

Listen to her conversation with Marty Moss-Coane on The Connection podcast.
