All Of It with Alison Stewart
WNYC
All Of It with Alison Stewart is a show about culture and its consumers.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.
Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.
ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."
...In other words, ALL OF IT.

'John Lewis: A Life' (Full Bio)
Famously throughout his life and career, Congressman and activist John Lewis preached getting into, as he called it, "good trouble." When Lewis died on July 17, 2020 at the age of 80, America lost a titan of the Civil Rights movement. A leader of SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a speaker at the March on Washington in 1963, and one of the many activists who were brutally beaten at the infamous march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma in 1965, Lewis was a hero to many for his dedication to fighting for the rights of Black people always within the framework of non-violence. For the latest installment of our Full Bio series, we spoke with David Greenberg, author of the new biography, John Lewis: A Life. Greenberg interviewed Lewis as well as 250 people who knew him or worked with him, including former President Obama. Here you can listen to all three parts of our conversation:John Lewis, Part 1: The early years of John Lewis, from a childhood in rural Alabama, to becoming the first member of his family to go to college, to his entrance as a student into the fight for civil rights.John Lewis, Part 2: How John Lewis became involved in SNCC, and the drama that led up to his famous speech at the March on Washington.John Lewis, Part 3: John Lewis enters politics in Atlanta and Congress, and his reputation as a politician and legislator.
