    Peter Aigner, Ted Knudsen

    These historians note that our Revolutionary War was also a civil war. "In New York and Philadelphia and Charleston, it really was neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother." Not what I learned in cold-war high school. But what is? Produced with the Gotham Center for New York City History, and without the Ultimate Fighting crowd. Music: Anne and Ridley Enslow.

    Christopher Payne

    Fake Abe Lincoln

    When he asked Frederick Douglass to the White House, did he serve snacks? "We did offer some refreshments, perhaps tea and bread." Tea and bread? Great Emancipator, chintzy host. A conversation with the 16th President, as portrayed by ChatGPT: call him AI-braham Lincoln.

    From the day she was born, her father was determined to make her a musician: "When I was brought home, my father piped classical music throughout the house and in our bedrooms. All night. Newborns! We were newborns!" Today she's a pediatrician. No no, a pianist. And a fine one. Presented with Yamaha Artist Services of New York.
