Nov 3 2022 • 51 mins

The PIC are joined this round by musician, TEDxTalk presenter, and all-around swell guy, Avi Wisnia, for a very enjoyable conversation that touches on life, music, human nature, and a lot of autumnal references. Tune in to learn about the differences between being a musician in NYC vs Philly, all about Avi's latest album, "Catching Leaves," what it was like to do a TEDx talk, and find out where you can see the U.S. premiere of a documentary that tells the incredible story of how Avi's "Saba" survived Auschwitz by entertaining his captors with song! We end with an introspective Game Called Something where the true cost of being Jenkintown Famous is revealed. All that and more...LIVE from the 19046!
