Batt Johnson read from his new book.
Oskar Zorrilla started us off with a very tantalizing story that our guests took to really interesting and dark places.

Just another night at Tango Cafe.
Hope you enjoy the show.

This week I have the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Adrian Minkowicz who is a stand up comic. He is currently based out of Norway but spends a lot of time here in New York City in the stand up circuit. He also dances tango ok too.
He is extremely funny and observant and it was a lot of fun to sit and chat with him. Enjoy.

As with restaurants, bars, and many other establishments that were once dine in, or dance in, Tango Cafe has also become TAKEOUT only. 
This was out first milonga/ social gathering online. 
It happened live, with people calling in from all over the country. 

It felt really good to connect with everyone here and we look forward to doing it again.

I sat down with Tiffany Trotter this past weekend at her place in Brooklyn. Tiffany started dancing tango back in the mid 90's and work with some of the earliest influences in the United States. After taking some time off she got back into tango and shares her stories with us.
We also discuss her interest and work as a history teacher and how history can't always be trusted. 

I sat down with the very interesting Wei Wang this week. We had a nice chat about his life growing up in China, England, and eventually Canada before moving to Flushing Queens. I've known Wei for a long time and he has always been a very interesting guy. I really enjoyed our conversation and learning more about him. Don't miss the story about Smooth Criminal either. It's especially funny.

This week we sit down with Dagny Miller from NYC. I had a really nice time chatting with Dagny and learning about her journey from being a med student and then stumbling into being a personal chef. Her ideas about art and creativity and her positive outlook. It was a good time for me to have this conversation and I hope you get as much inspiration from it as I did.

Today I am chatting with my good friend Jason Koo. He is a writer, a rabid Cleveland sports fan, and an all around interesting human.
He is the FOUNDER of Brooklyn Poets which he started back in 2012.

I wanted to put his poem, written for Robin Thomas, here but it's a pdf and I can't cut and paste it so I am adding a link to his website.

jasonykoo.com

There you can check out his writings and purchase some of his books. The poem written for Robin is called, "Close Embrace." 
Enjoy.

This week we sit down with Natalie Laruccia. I was at a party a few months ago and chatting with Natalie when she began telling me all these interesting and crazy stories about her experience growing up and living in Buenos Aires and immediately I knew we had to do a pod together. I am sure you will enjoy and relate to a lot of her experiences. Enjoy.

For my final part of the 4 part series recorded in Cleveland Ohio at the Tango Bowling Marathon I sit down with Craig Herrington who is from Cleveland Ohio. He has a lot of interesting points regarding learning and teaching that I really enjoyed discussing with him. Hope you enjoy the conversation.
