Brian Lera on WNYC, so now that we've been through Israel, Gaza, Russia, Ukraine,

the health risks of turf playing fields and the New Jersey governor's race,

we're going to end on a lighter note for our last 10 minutes with your calls on the question,

where do you get your arts and entertainment suggestions and when, if ever, do you read reviews?

212-433 WNYC. Why this? Well, we're asking about arts criticism and how you engage with it.

In light of news, the many publications are pulling back from criticism.

Think movie, album, book reviews.

So where do you get your arts and entertainment suggestions?

And when, if ever, do you read reviews?

Call us up, you'll get right on.

212, 433, WNIC, 21 212, 433-962,

9692, call or text.

And so to help set this up with a temperature check

as your calls and texts are coming in,

do you even read criticism in the first place?

When you're thinking about seeing a new movie,

buying a new book, do you read reviews or rely on word of mouth?

And for those of you who do read reviews, do you read them before to help you decide,

or like an increasing number of people who I know, read them only after to help think through

what you saw or read, and also to have no spoilers.

212-433, WNYC, 433-9-6-92.
