World Cafe 30th Anniversary Show with host Stephen Kallao

World Cafe is diving into the archives every week to celebrate its 30th Anniversary! This week, host Raina Douris takes us back to 2010, when Janelle Monae stopped by the Cafe upon the release of her critically acclaimed debut album, The Archandroid, and began her stunning career. And in a memorable 2007 conversation with George Martin, he shares stories from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. We’ll hear that interview. Plus, a young artist on the rise is inducted into the “30 Under 30” list.
