Show Notes
Today Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and Edgar B. Herwick III host our arts and culture week-in-review.
First up, Late-night just got quieter. ABC has yanked Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely after the host’s remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination sparked outrage from conservatives and the FCC.
From there, after nearly 50 years, Jerry Greenfield is leaving Ben & Jerry’s, saying their parent company is silencing their social activism, despite promises to let them remain independent
And we remember Robert Redford, the star, the storyteller, and the visionary who reframed American cinema.
Finally, Somerville crowned Minerva, a black feline with a one-word platform—“Crime”—as its Bike Path Mayor.
