Also, the most important restaurant opening in Williamsburg EVER, and oh yes, don't let anyone tell you differently: Summer Friday culture is alive and well—at least in the only place it matters.
Great stuff, Foster. Your randomized regional NPR trick got me thinking about Radio Garden, which I used to love for similar reasons, but haven't used in a while. Have you ever checked that out? It's still going! https://radio.garden/?r=1

Really hoping Pantelleria doesn’t blow up after that NYT article. As Ms Gambaccini aptly said in her insta post detailing her adventures with that NYT writer (who wrote a great piece nonetheless) - its a “beautifully fucked up place, wind-slapped and heat-stroked” perfect for people who want to disappear for a little while, with a few of the people you love, eating what’s there and swimming alone.

It also introduced me to this, which, while not my particular cup of tea, I'm so into as AN ENERGY: https://www.instagram.com/p/C50wDvDr7IG/?hl=en&img_index=2
also it's public radio, classical and jazz only (+ jazz night in america on sundays) but I love WRTI out of philly.
Great to know, gonna give it a shot
