March 11, 2024 - Oscars recap, Woodstock and The Minutes

Oppenheimer was the bomb at last night's Oscars, winning seven awards including best picture, best actor and best director. Joyce Kulhawik and Lisa Simmons are here for an Oscars recap, going through all the slights, stunners and the usual suspects. And, in August 1969, as many as half a million people gathered at a farm in upstate New York to hear music. What happened was more than a concert. It was an event that would define a generation. The question is: Were you there? The Museum at Bethel Woods wants to know as part of its Woodstock oral history initiative. They’re in Boston to interview people who were a witness to history-attending Woodstock. Finally Eliot-Norton Prize winning director Scott Edmiston joins us to talk about “The Minutes,” both a satirical take on municipal government and a scathing critique of American hypocrisy.
