Historia
To hear Ethiopian and Swedish chef, TV personality, and restauranteur Marcus Samuelsson cook with special guests at the Red Rooster restaurant is to make an audio pilgrimage to Harlem. Listeners will get to know the iconic neighborhood, Marcus’ home, through its food, its history, and - most importantly - its people.

A fascinating listen for foodies & history buffs!

Harlem is having a memoir *moment*
I’ve been living for the memoir Made in Harlem by the legendary fashion designer Dapper Dan, in which he reminisces about creating custom looks for rap luminaries like Biz Markie and Rakim. So when I heard that Dap makes a cameo on Marcus Samuelsson’s Our Harlem, it was an instant download. You guys, I can’t think of a way to describe Our Harlem that could possibly do it justice. The ever-charismatic chef hangs out with friends from around the neighborhood while they shoot the breeze about the history and future of Harlem in such an effortless way that you feel like you’re right there on the stoop with them. The music is great. The laughter is infectious. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be dancing in your seat and wishing you had a cocktail.

Historia
Based on his historic mission to the International Space Station, Ask an Astronaut is Tim Peake's guide to life in space and his answers to the thousands of questions he has been asked since his return to Earth. With explanations ranging from the mundane (how do you wash your clothes or go to the bathroom while in orbit?) to the profound (do humans have a duty to explore the unknown?), all written in Tim's characteristically warm style, Tim shares his thoughts on every aspect of space exploration.

I want to be an astronaut when I grow up
I have a reputation among my fellow Editors for being the first to perk up at weird space news. A cigar-shaped asteroid that might be an alien spacecraft? Check. Scientists trying to wake a sleeping Mars rover with a space-themed playlist? Check. A potentially habitable Earth discovered 31 light-years away?? Check! I may not have the scientific chops for space travel, but at least I can live vicariously through these bios and memoirs about astounding astronauts.

Historia
In I’m Telling the Truth, but I’m Lying, Bassey Ikpi explores her life - as a Nigerian-American immigrant, a black woman, a slam poet, a mother, a daughter, an artist - through the lens of her mental health and diagnosis of bipolar II and anxiety. Her remarkable memoir in essays implodes our preconceptions of the mind and normalcy as Bassey bares her own truths and lies for us all to behold with radical honesty and brutal intimacy.

Here for it
I was already really curious about Bassey Ikpi’s new memoir when I saw two of my favorite writers—Kiese Laymon and Samantha Irby—say really nice things about it, including these phrases: I want to scream my joy,
momentous art object,
and human miracle
(!). Bassey Ikpi is a poet who had a mental breakdown while touring the world with HBO’s Def Poetry Jam. During her hospitalization, she was diagnosed with bipolar II. As we become more woke about intersectionality in our culture, Ikpi’s voice as a Black woman dealing with mental illness is arguably one of the most powerful voices you should put everything down for and just listen to already. She’s one of our most important mental health advocates, and I am here for it.
