    A Mystery in Marion (Part One)

    On a Friday morning in rural Kansas, the publisher of a tiny local newspaper hears a knock at the door. It’s the police—with a search warrant. Within minutes, they’re inside his home, seizing his electronics. At the same time, officers are raiding his newsroom, confiscating computers and phones. No subpoena. No warning. And, according to legal experts, no right to do it. The publisher scrambles to understand: Why is this happening? Who’s behind it? He has made some enemies over the years, in this town of just 2,000 people.  And then—just as he starts to piece it together—something even more devastating happens. A tragedy that would make national news, and change his life forever.   Part Two of this story drops next week.   Sign up for our newsletter: www.kcrw.com/questioneverything   “Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

    Jason Reynolds Loves Being a Crybaby

    Jason Reynolds writes stories that don't talk down to kids. In young adult books like "Long Way Down," "Ghost" and two Miles Morales Spider-Man novels, there is a clear understanding: kids are complicated people, and Jason treats them that way. His newest audio-only book is called "Soundtrack." He talks with Rachel about the value of being a crier and the advice about rest he got from LeVar Burton.

  9. We're Gonna Dance (w/ Lady Gaga)

    We're Gonna Dance (w/ Lady Gaga)

    So... LADY GAGA is on Las Culturistas. Somehow, we've reached the moment where the timeless artist herself sits down with Matt and Bowen to sort through the MAYHEM. The three chat about Gaga's incredible seventh album, rain as production value, choosing "Shallow" to perform at SNL50 and just how important SNL is to Lady Gaga and all the musical artists who get the opportunity to guest on the show. All this, dark arts and the poetry of pop music, transitioning from being a student of fame to being a student of entertainment, the role of humor in Gaga's creativity, the importance of the Chromatica Ball, how it really feels to be called "chaotic", and the choice to end her album with "Die With A Smile". Also, speaking up on trans rights at the Grammys, a tiny little preview of Coachella (but not really), Broadway hopes and dreams, whether or not a lighthearted film is in Gaga's future and how community is truly everything. What a perfect day! What a perfect pop icon for us all! And what perfect MAYHEM! Check out the album if you... haven't? But also... who are you? You should be OFF BOOK by now.
