I hosted this week's Culturetopia with arts reporter Felix Contreras, and it's safe to say it covers a lot of territory.

We hear first about the fact that musicians hear better than other people -- scientists say so. Speaking of hearing, if you haven't yet heard the Fresh Air interview with Tracy Morgan, you'll hear part of that in the podcast, and rest assured, it is not your typical Tracy Morgan interview.

We check in on an interview with Lenny Kravitz, who discusses his relationship with Paris and the development of his unique sound on the 20th anniversary of his album, Let Love Rule.

Not resting in our efforts to cover every corner of the culture this week, we hear about the worldwide influence of soap operas (yes, really!), and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan talks about his new book.

As always, you can hear the podcast right here, or -- and you know you want to -- become a subscriber and get a weekly dose of our favorite NPR arts coverage.
