Welcome to Suga in My Bowl radio‘s weekly feature, On The Bandstand, where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests. We’re online weekly and on the air on NYC’s WBAI-FM radio alternate Sunday nights from 11 PM -1 AM. Keep up with us via Facebook, the blog here, or our main website, or Twitter and we’ll keep track of the schedule for you.
We’re off the air this week, but if you missed last week’s show with filmmaker Melissa Haizlip, director of the documentary Mr. SOUL! Ellis Haizlip and the Birth of Black Power TV, head over to our archives where you can see that and nearly a decade of other shows. Speaking of Mr. SOUL!, you have another chance to see a screening at Columbia University’s Miller Theater as part of the Reel Sisters of the African Diaspora Film Festival on October 6. Haizlip will be on hand for a question and answer session. And we have more listings for you this week.
