CHUCK KLOSTERMAN

Chuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of eight nonfiction books (including Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs; I Wear the Black Hat; But What If We’re Wrong?; and Killing Yourself to Live), two novels (Downtown Owl and The Visible Man), and the short story collection Raised in Captivity. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, GQ, Esquire, Spin, The Guardian, The Believer, Billboard, The A.V. Club, and ESPN. Klosterman served as the Ethicist for The New York Times Magazine for three years, appeared as himself in the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits, and was an original founder of the website Grantland with Bill Simmons. His latest book, The Nineties, was an instant New York Times bestseller. WebsiteTwitter

DYLAN MARRON

Dylan Marron is an actor, author, podcaster and activist whom Glennon Doyle dubbed “the internet’s Love Warrior.” He is the host and creator of the critically acclaimed podcast Conversations with People Who Hate Me, a social experiment where he connects strangers who clashed online, whether by calling up his own detractors or moderating calls between others. That project has now become a book, Conversations with People Who Hate Me: 12 Things I Learned from Talking to Internet Strangers, which came out in March 2022. He is also the voice of Carlos on the international sensation Welcome to Night Vale, an alum of the New York Neo-Futurists theater company, and the creator of Every Single Word, a video series that edits down popular films to feature only the words spoken by people of color. He lives in Brooklyn with his husband Todd. WebsiteTwitter

MAKING MOVIES

Latinx rockers Making Movies are “breaking down walls in the U.S” (Rolling Stone). Formed by Panamanian brothers Enrique and Diego Chi, and joined by percussionist/keyboardist Juan-Carlos Chaurand and drummer Duncan Burnett, the band showcases its Latin American roots by incorporating traditional instruments like the Panamanian mejorana, and swapping drums and percussion for a dueling zapateado huasteco. The band has shared the stage with such artists as Arcade Fire, Los Lobos, Thievery Corporation, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Hurray for the Riff Raff. Their fourth LP, XOPA, due out in June 2022, features guest artists Marc Ribot, Rubén Blades, Dolores Huerta, Los Lobos, The Sensational Barnes Brothers, Jeremy Kittel, Martha Gonzales, Rev. Charles Hodges, Asdru Sierra and Alaina Moore. WebsiteTwitterSpotify
