Show Notes
Culture Show co-hosts Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and James Bennett II go over the latest headlines on our arts and culture week-in-review.
First up, the return of the Fyre Festival. Notorious for scamming people the first time around, it’s back selling tickets that range between $1,400 and $1.1 million.
From there it’s the legacy of Soul and R&B icon Roberta Flack,reflecting on the versatile career of the legendary actor Gene Hackman, and remembering actress Michele Trachtenberg of “Gossip Girl” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” fame.
Then we raise a glass to South Boston’s summertime destination, Sullivan's Castle and Island, which just won a James Beard America’s Classics Award.
And ruminations on the fate of 007 now that Amazon owns the James Bond franchise.
