It's the Brian Lair show on WNYC.

Welcome back, everybody.

I'm Matt Katz, keeping the big seat warm for Brian today.

Tonight, Brian will host a live radio broadcast from Summer Stage in Central Park

to celebrate the station's 100th birthday. He'll be joined by some of your favorite public radio

voices for a lineup of conversation, trivia, and music. The event starts at 7 p.m. It's free.

No RSVP required. So hope to see you out there.

If you can't make it in person, we'll actually broadcast it live right here at 93.9 FM,

AMA20, and WNYC.org. So tune in there. And in honor of tonight's event, we now continue our WNYC Centennial series,

100 Years of 100 Things. And this week, we're up to Thing 19, 100 years of music on WNYC.

For the past century, this station has brought all sorts of talent on the air. And joining us now to take us through WNYC's

musical legacy is none other than John Schaefer, host of WNYC's New Sounds.

Hey, John.

Hi, Matt.
