Ways To Subscribe

The Late Set has some news: we’re going on the air! The Late Set Radio Hour is coming to WRTI’s Sunday Rotation, as a music-forward adaptation of our podcast. We’re kicking things off on Oct. 26 with an episode inspired by the acclaimed 2024 album Milton + esperanza, and featuring highlights from Nate Chinen’s illuminating conversation with esperanza spalding. So we thought we’d repost that full interview here. Tune in to WRTI on the last Sunday of every month, at 8 p.m. ET, to hear The Late Set Radio Hour — the same great interviews you know and love, with a lot more music to enjoy.

Nate Chinen has been writing about music for more than 25 years. He spent a dozen of them working as a critic for The New York Times, and helmed a long-running column for JazzTimes. As Editorial Director at WRTI, he oversees a range of classical and jazz coverage, and contributes regularly to NPR.
