I'm Nicole Perkins and in my new podcast The Godmother I'm inviting you to 1930s New York

I want to tell you the extraordinary story of Eunice Carter the trailblazing black

female lawyer who put New York's most notorious

gangsters behind bars.

Somehow, she's been largely forgotten.

Listen to The Godmother, with me, Nicole Perkins, on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing.

I spoke with more actors, musicians, policy makers, and so many other fascinating people,

like jazz bassist Christian McBride.

Jazz is based on improvisation but there's very much a form to it.

Most pop songs have a very strict structure, verse, chorus, whereas jazz you get a melody with a set of

chord changes. You play that melody with those chord changes. Now once you do that, you have a conversation based on that melody and those core

changes so it's kind of like giving someone a topic and say okay talk about this and

comedian and actor Caroline Ray you're most comfortable when you're on stage.

Probably.

You really love it.

Yeah, I feel like I always think my stand-up is a dinner party.

I know what I'm going to make.

You're my guess.

I don't know what's going to happen.

But the thing about stand-up that amazes me is it's only going to happen in that moment in time. Even if we film it, it's never going to be what it feels like live.
