SUMMARY:The WBUR Festival
DESCRIPTION:The WBUR Festival\, happening on Friday\, May 29 and Saturday\, May 30\, 2026\, will feature two days of captivating conversations\, podcast tapings\, musical performances\, and a lively street scene up and down Commonwealth Avenue. \n“The WBUR Festival is serious stuff and wicked fun\, too\,” said Margaret Low\, CEO of WBUR. “Last year was such a smashing success\, we couldn’t wait to do it again. We think of the Festival as our love letter to Boston and beyond — a chance to give back to the people\, the city and the region who fuel WBUR.” \nAlong with WBUR hosts including Meghna Chakrabarti\, Tiziana Dearing\, Indira Lakshmanan\, Lisa Mullins and Robin Young\, the first wave of speakers includes: \n\nJosé Andrés\, chef\, founder of World Central Kitchen — a nonprofit that provides meals in response to global crises — and best-selling author of a new book “Spain My Way\,” coming out in May. Andrés holds two Michelin stars and has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.\nMarty Baron\, former executive editor of The Washington Post and The Boston Globe. Under his leadership\, newsrooms have won 18 Pulitzer Prizes\, including 11 at the Post.\nJohn Bolton\, former United States national security advisor to President Donald Trump\, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and author of “The Room Where It Happened.”\nKatherine Maher\, president and CEO of NPR and former chief executive of the Wikimedia Foundation.\nSamantha Power\, New York Times bestselling author\, Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.\nBryan Stevenson\, public interest lawyer\, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative — a human rights organization in Montgomery\, Ala. — and author of the bestselling memoir “Just Mercy.”\nNicholas Thompson\, CEO of The Atlantic and host of the podcast The Most Interesting Thing in AI. His 2025 memoir “The Running Ground” was recognized as a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year.\nAnd numerous public media friends including musician and host Jad Abumrad\, founder of WNYC’s Radiolab; Allison Aubrey\, NPR health and science correspondent and founding host of Life Kit; Mary Louise Kelly\, co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered and host of the Sources & Methods podcast; and Sam Sanders\, host of KCRW’s The Sam Sanders Show and one of the founding hosts of Vibe Check\, The NPR Politics Podcast and It’s Been A Minute.\nSee additional speakers confirmed so far and get tickets at wburfestival.org.\n\nIn addition to its speaker lineup\, The WBUR Festival will feature a range of community-centered activities. The free street fair open to everyone will return on Saturday\, May 30 with more space and more vendors\, including the Found Boston market with 80 vintage sellers — twice as many as last year. Families can enjoy an all-new Kids Zone and live performances\, including dance lessons with Salsa y Control and entertainment from the WBUR Makers Jake Blount and Kimaya Diggs. Attendees can also help create a massive mural — a guided\, paint-by-numbers community art project designed to bring festivalgoers together and create a shared masterpiece. \nOur Partners \nThe WBUR Festival is made possible in part by the generous support of many civic and cultural institutions.

SUMMARY:Global Voices in Verse
DESCRIPTION:Monthly poetry event where participants read poems by other poets\, celebrating diverse voices and cultures while welcoming even non-poets to share their heritage. We are honored to have Arlington Poet Laureate Teresa Cader as our chief guest. \n\n\nGlobal Voices in Verse is a monthly poetry gathering that celebrates the richness of global poetic traditions. This event provides a platform for cultural exchange through poetry\, inviting participants to read and share poems by poets from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Unlike traditional poetry readings\, this initiative encourages both poets and non-poets to engage with poetry beyond their own experiences\, fostering a deeper appreciation of different literary traditions. By bringing together voices from around the world\, the event highlights the power of poetry as a bridge between cultures. \nParticipants select a poem—whether from a well-known poet or a lesser-known voice—and present it in its original language\, followed by a discussion or translation to make it accessible to a wider audience. This format not only promotes linguistic diversity but also allows attendees to explore the historical\, social\, and emotional contexts of various poetic works. By engaging with poetry in this way\, Global Voices in Verse cultivates a welcoming space where literature becomes a shared experience\, inspiring cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
