Spotlight | Lauren Yee

Just before the pandemic, Lauren Yee’s CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND—winner of the Horton Foote Prize—ranked among the top ten most produced plays in America. To kick off the second season of the HereWeAre Spotlight podcast, Yee joins fellow San Franciscan Francesca Fernandez to explore the complexities of "Americanism." They discuss how her latest work, MOTHER RUSSIA, marks a return to a communist setting, fueled by Yee’s signature sharp and brilliantly witty humour.

Writer's Block Brotel Brands Writer's Block is a project I have turned to when I need a break from writing novels, but make no mistake, this podcast is not about writing which we all probably find to be quite boring. Instead sit down and relax with outrageous segments like Pitch Slap, Merkle's Boner, LARPing and more! The show is fast paced and designed to keep you laughing and cutting down on the down time of usual podcasts. Each episode is just long enough to listen to on the way to work!Intro and outro music credit:NCS: Music Without LimitationsNCS Spotify: http://spoti.fi/NCSFree Download / Stream: http://ncs.io/hereweare
