The Arts Section 05/19/19

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to musicologist Nolan Gasser about his new book WHY YOU LIKE IT: THE SCIENCE AND CULTURE OF MUSICAL TASTE. The book aims to shed some light on why people like the music they listen to. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to review the new Chicago-set play THE UNDENIABLE SOUND OF RIGHT NOW. A little later, Gary talks to food writer Amy Cavanaugh about some of the restaurant openings she’s most excited about this summer. Plus this week’s Arts Section calendar.
