Penny Arcade: Let's Talk
Originally aired on Monday, July 31st, 2006

A conversation in three parts with Downtown NY's very own International Superstar, Penny Arcade! For 2006, Penny is performing and touring, all the while simultaneously stemming the ever encroaching local and worldwide pandemic of Cultural Amnesia, with her smart as Hell, wickedly funny pull no punches performances. Make no mistake, Penny was right there - think Andy Warhol's Factory - and has lived, witnessed, defined, lit the elephant, and smashed holes clean through the darkest corners of (whatever) hegemony; and you thought you were just laughing at her jokes! We welcome you with Hope There's Someone, From Antony and The Johnsons latest release, I Am a Bird Now. We take our leave with Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah. Produced by Francis Sorensen.
