Sundays On The East End

On our penultimate show, we chat with Anne Chaisson, executive director of the Hamptons International Film Festival, about the importance of movies, her journey from business to producer to executive director, about film festivals in general and their place  in the landscape, and, of course, about the East End.

This week on the show, we talk to Hampton Bays photographer and artist Matt Raynor about his creative process, his accident that left him paralyzed, his  near death experience, and how art continues to be an emotional outlet  for him.

Julie Ratner of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation celebrates the life of her sister, Ellen, who was struck down by breast  cancer as a young mother. That tragic event became the soil in which  the East End-based institution bloomed into a 25-year source for helping  other women. We also discuss Ellen's Run, the upcoming winter gala on  March 6, turning poison into medicine, and more.

Join our convo with artist/organizer/environmentalist Scott Bluedorn. Among many other topics, we discuss growing up on the East End, his surreal, unique artwork, his community involvement, Richard Scarry's Busytown, making a living as an artist, and Greenport Harbor Brewing co.

In honor of the inauguration, it's our inaugural show this weekend -- a revamped rebroadcast of our first episode with the brilliant singer-songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins, recorded in September of 2018.

We talk to localism-obsessed chef Jeremy Blutstein about growing up in Amagansett, eating too many pancakes at Estia's, getting his produce from places like Balsam Farms, LLC, his total and complete love of restaurants, and more. Plus, why Wu-Tang Clan?

If you know Kate Mueth and The Neo-Political Cowgirls, then you know Kate isn't just creative on her own, but has spent a lifetime providing a platform for others to create -- whether through art, dance, theater, prose, film, and more.

Julie Andrews and Emma Walton Hamilton discuss family, collaboration, writing, movies, and the creative process on an updated rebroadcast.

Mushrooms. Cannabis. Plant medicine. Farming. This week we talk with Bridgehampton's own maven of mycellium, David Falkowski of Open Minded Organics, LLC and the OMO Apothecary in Sag Harbor, about his journey, his roots, his involvement with his community and on educating the public.

This week our guest is Peter Guimaraes, partner in the Bice Cucina restaurant brand, CEO of Tipsy Girl, former cast member on Real Housewives of New York City, and now a candidate for mayor of NYC. Join us for this wild discussion about restaurants, the Rat Pack, growing up as an immigrant, and his decision to enter the political arena.

While some of us learn to become more self-sufficient during these strange times, Rachel Stephens of Sweet Woodland Farm, an avid homesteader, has been doing that for years. Join us this week to learn about the beauty of honoring nature's rhythms, growing your own vegetable and fruits, the local farmers' markets, what fire cider is, and the importance of chicken poop.

Ayni. It's a Quechua word that means "community" or "reciprocity." There  are few people on the East End who embody that more than Bonnie  Michelle Cannon of Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center,  i.e. The Center. If you think it's all about childcare and recreation,  you've got another thing coming. Listen in to an episode this week about  gratitude, strength, and, most of all, LOVE.

This week we talk with Nancy Atlas, local legend, about live music and the plight of musicians on the East End during the Summer that Wasn't. Nancy, Nancy Atlas Project , and her friends (other rock stars like Johnny Blood-John Leitch, Joe Delia and others) will be performing a six-week series to raise funds for the Stephen Talkhouse.
