| Radiolab Live: How the Cassette Tape Changed Us | Thursday, April 20 & Friday, April 21 | 7 PM
In Person: $35 | Livestream: Free | | |
| | Do you want to be happier, healthier or wealthier, or simply want to reach your full potential? What if we told you that you have the power to do all these things and more?
Starting in the 1980s, phrases like these could be heard on cassette tapes and through headphones at a dizzying rate. It was the birth of self-help and the death of collective reality. WNYC Studios' Radiolab and Senior Producer Simon Adler present a live multimedia event exploring self-help, the power of these phrases, the cassette tapes that carried them, and the ideas embedded within. | | |

| Game Recognize Game: A Bay Area Hip-Hop Trivia Night | Thursday, May 11 | 7 PM
In Person: $10 | | |
| | From coining the term “player hater” to launching the careers of some of the most beloved players in hip-hop, the Bay Area is the home of game. We’re celebrating that by having a game night!
If you think you’ve got Bay Area hip-hop on lock, put it to the test when Rightnowish’s Pendarvis Harshaw and Marisol Medina-Cadena host a trivia night with games, a DJ and much more. Prizes will go to players who drop the most knowledge. And topping off the event is a special conversation between hip-hop historian Eric K. Arnold and Vallejo’s Mac Mall — co-writer with JT the Bigga Figga of the 1994 hit song, “Game Recognize Game.” | | |

| A Soy Story | Thursday, May 18 | 7 PM
In Person: $20 | Livestream: Free | | |
| | The humble soybean has gone from resilient legume to a versatile global commodity and, more recently, a supervillain in the plant-based discourse.
Join the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) for a journey through the culinary landscape of soy in the Asian Diaspora. Experience a night of tastings with local chefs, including Steve Joo of Joodooboo, and storytelling with modern-day cultivators at Second Generation Seeds, who remind us that seeds carry with them histories transported through generations and across borders; caring for them is to nurture our connection to each other. | | |
