🎉 Bonus Episode – Celebrating Juneteenth with Dr. Nnenna Ogwo 🎉

To close out Season 5 of The Piano Pod—our season of Authenticity and Joy—we are sharing a special bonus episode in celebration of Juneteenth Month.

Dr. Nnenna Ogwo—pianist, educator, and founder of Juneteenth LP—returns to The Piano Pod (after her powerful appearance in Season 4, Episode 4) to update us on the evolution of her visionary organization. In this short but meaningful conversation, Nnenna reflects on the origin, mission, and future of Juneteenth LP, and invites us to this year’s exciting lineup of events, including the 10th Anniversary Concert at Joe’s Pub on June 19.

Juneteenth LP is also our sponsor of the month, supporting the final two episodes of Season 5—featuring two phenomenal Black women artists: Dr. Leah Claiborne and Dr. Maria Thompson Corley.

✨ Join us as we celebrate Black history, legacy, and liberation through classical music.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
