It's Spring time in New York City! Yes,
it's is
still chilly, overcast and we are all tired of the winter. In honor
of the Spring that has not happened, Shonali brings in the March
episode of WDEK in a
purple dress, a sun hat, sunglasses, bright green bucks as in shoes
and shaking
her pom
poms. Christian had nightmares the night before the
show. The
entire audience monitors Christian and Shonali's use of "like",
"um", "wow" and "no." Our first guest is the talented singer
Saundra Williams. She is a member of new Daptone recording
artists, Saun and Starr,
and also a back-up singer for Sharon Jones and
the Dap Kings.
She's from the South Bronx and has been singing since she was
a young girl. She talks about her journey as a performer,
including church choir, her father, a wedding band, her special
relationship with Starr Duncan Lowe and Sharon Jones, appearances
at Live at the Apollo in Harlem and so much
more. Saun
and Starr just debuted a new video featured a soul funk hit
called Big
Wheel.
Our second guest is comedian and executive producer of the
Daily Show, Adam Lowitt.
Adam is a newlywed and Shonali recently attended his wedding.
Adam
sent himself to Outward Bound for a reason. He also helped build
part of the Appalachian Trail. Adam
sits beside John Stewart during writers' meetings.
All the
writers bomb in front of John when preparing for the show. Jason
Lam was in consideration (in his own mind) as John
Stewart's replacement. Check out his audition tapes. Do you
know what Adam's dad's name is? Let us know. Do you know how to
pronounce Shonali's name? Neither does Christian. Happy
Holidays everyone!
