Women Who Changed the World
3/21/2026
In honor of Women's History Month Edmund Stone has crafted a show highlighting some of the most influential women in the world. Celebrate powerful women with music from films including philosopher and mathematician Hypatia in Agora to Ruth Bader Ginsberg in On the Basis of Sex, and Academy Award winning film director Chloe Zhao's powerful Nomadland.
Spoofs
3/28/2026
Edmund Stone dishes out some film foolery with a show about spoofs, films that are parodies - and a lot of fun. You'll hear music from parodies of genres as disparate as westerns (A Million Ways to Die in the West), horror (Scary Movie), and science fiction (Galaxy Quest). It's a great way to prepare for April Fools Day!
