Description

Quiara Alegría Hudes is having quite a year. Roxane talks to her about writing the book for the musical “In the Heights” and then writing the screenplay for the upcoming movie version, and about her new memoir “My Broken Language.” Plus Tressie waxes poetic about white lady camp, and we hear from listeners about the meals they’re planning for when they get their people back together around the table.
