Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - This Chicago One-Woman Show Makes A ‘Mixtape’ With The Audience

If you ask us, the Chicago theater scene doesn’t play enough Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. Enter: Chicagoans Ruth Guerra and Ricardo Gamboa.

Each show, the audience picks a track from a list of songs that Ruth uses as inspiration in real time to tell a story from her life. Together, they create a “mixtape,” making the show a different experience every time. Reset sits down with the co-creators Ricard Gamboa and Ruth Guerra to understand the unique artistry behind the show.

State of the World from NPR - The U.S. and China Vie for Influence in Africa

Joe Biden's first and last trip to Africa as president wrapped up in a port city in Angola. It's the end of an 800 mile train line connecting the port to massive mineral deposits in Central Africa.

We go to one of the mining cities along that train route to see how the geopolitics are playing out.
