HOST: BROOKE GLADSTONE
The Mystery of Havana Syndrome
In the fall of 2016, just two years after Obama reopened diplomatic relations with Cuba, a few American diplomats started hearing high-pitched, eerie buzzing sounds in their houses and at a nearby hotel.
Shortly thereafter, some of them experienced debilitating symptoms such as headaches, fatigues, trouble reading, bloody noses, and brain fog.
The mysterious affliction, dubbed 'Havana Syndrome,' seemed to spread among American diplomats, and then across the globe. Then, the questions burst forth: what happened to them?
Were they being attacked, and if so, by whom? Was there a weapon involved, or were the patients undergoing a collective stress response?

A Conversation With Paul Simon
Singer Paul Simon surprised fans earlier this year by releasing Seven Psalms, his first album since 2018.
It was surprising not because so much time had passed, but because he had originally said his previous album, In the Blue Light, would be his last.
In an interview with All Songs Considered's Bob Boilen, Simon said he was ready to retire from music and pursue other creative projects.
This week, we go back to that 2018 conversation when Simon first announced he was done making new music.

Alt.Latino ENCORE-Louie Vega, A Life In Service To The Groove
This week we revisit an episode we did with Louie Vega.
He is one half of the highly influential musical production duo, Masters At Work. It's impossible to overstate just how much of an impact "Little" Louie Vega and his musical partner Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez had on popular music.
Since the early 1990s, their fusions of house, hip-hop, soul, reggae and Afro-Caribbean rhythms has inspired dancers around the world.
The duo elevated remixing to a high art, taking songs that inspired them and re-imagining the beats and rhythms to create something unexpected.
