All We Hear Is Radio Ragazza with Adele Bertei
Today you will hear my conversation with the legendary godmother of no wave Adele Bertei, who joins me to discuss her new memoir 'No New York: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene.' We discuss her friendship with Peter Laughner, being out as a lesbian in 1977, the important legacy of Sinéad O'Connor, and her disdain for the films 'Liquid Sky' and 'Times Square.'
