All Of It with Alison Stewart

A new documentary provides an inside look at one of the only inpatient units in the U.S. that treats young adults for serious mental health issues. Directors Lindsey Megrue and Alexandra Shiva join clinical psychologist Dr. Laura Braider to discuss, "One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit," available on Max. 

In Gilded Age New York, a Jewish woman named Fredericka Mandelbaum was able to become fantastically wealthy by running a crime syndicate. We learn how "Marm" Mandelbaum became a notorious crime boss from Margalit Fox, author of the new book, The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum: The Rise and Fall of an American Organized-Crime Boss. It's the launch of our July series "Women Behaving Badly," a tongue-in-cheek title for our look at unruly women of New York history.

A new "P-Valley" inspired docuseries from creator Katori Hall and star Nicco Annan shows viewers a real version of the Deep South, from the queer nightlife scene in Dallas, TX to the Hoodoo practitioners of Memphis, TN. Both Hall and Annan join us to discuss the show, "Down in the Valley," which premiered on Starz last week.

In honor of WNYC's 100th birthday, All Of It is celebrating 100 pieces of art in New York City. Each month we'll speak with a tastemaker in the arts world about their favorites.
