The Spoken View
An Interesting Note
Bob Boilen - It was early, maybe half an hour before Bill Frisell was set to arrive for his Tiny Desk Concert. Already, a crowd here at NPR was buzzing around, waiting to hear Frisell make his magic and watching him set up an array of pedals. I've never seen anyone play guitar the way Frisell plays: What I hear is a man on a mission of discovery, where one chord, one note, one effect can send him in unplanned, uncharted directions" target="_blank">Watch the Tiny Desk Concert on NPRLatino USA with Maria Hinojosa
This week, we dive deep into satire, comedy, and the notion of political correctness. Three artists join us in a conversation today – Comedian Russell Peters, Cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz, and Performance artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz — all are using comedy in provocative ways to talk about issues that can make us laugh, but also can make us squirm in our seats
