MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two entertainment journalists about the future of awards shows like the Oscars, and what they’re expecting to see when they tune in on Sunday.

From true crime to self help, whatever you’re interested in or hoping to find out, there’s a podcast about that. On Thursday, host Angela Davis spoke with two podcast executives about the business of podcasting.

Creative older workers shine on stage, in offices and on the radio

If the Super Bowl halftime show taught us anything it’s that artists over 50 deserve a stage, too. The all-star, hip-hop lineup got the entire crowd on their feet. Entertainers are not the only ones still ready to shine in middle age; America’s Baby Boomers and aging Gen Xers want a chance to contribute. On Monday, guest host Chris Farrell spoke with a business professor and a writer doing their best work after 50.
