Public Domain Day 2024

A new year marks a new trove of material entering the public domain. This year's entries include works from 1928 like Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera," music from Cole Porter, and literature from Virginia Woolf, DH Lawrence, and Agatha Christie. But the real star of show is Mickey Mouse, whose very first appearance in "Steamboat Willie" is now without copyright. Jennifer Jenkins, director of Duke University's Center for the Study of the Public Domain, joins us to explain what that means. It's also been one year since we launched WNYC's Public Song Project, and we have plans for that in store. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open for more info to come soon.

Om Podcasten

ALL OF IT is a show about culture and its consumers. ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context. ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture. Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great. ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London: "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things." ...In other words, ALL OF IT. --- Join us for ALL OF IT with Alison Stewart, weekdays from 12:00 - 2:00PM on WNYC.
