[Falling through the cracks of last week's holiday schedule was Culturetopia, which we bring you now, somewhat belatedly, with apologies. — Linda Holmes]
All Things Considered producer Sonari Glinton rejoins NPR's arts and culture podcast this week, as do I. (I've been away in Los Angeles on a three-week arts journalism fellowship, but that's another story.)
A bunch of this week's pieces completely cracked us up, including this look at a group of San Diego teenagers in thrall to the latest Twilight movie, New Moon, and an interview with The Onion's headline writers.
Sonari talks about coming up with a piece about the most important songs of the past decade, and we've got a review of the ravishingly romantic new Pedro Almodovar movie, Broken Embraces.
Finally, an insightful interview with Rakim has the seminal rapper talking about spirituality in reference to his new album, The Seventh Seal, and about the joys of being called a "microphone fiend" by Jay-Z.
