    "Music is a powerful tool. In an instant, it can change your mood, your perspective, or your life," Stacey Abrams says on her Crooked Media podcast, Assembly Required, introducing her conversation with Rhiannon Giddens. "No matter the motivation, music is an outlet, a force that builds us up or keeps us steady. It holds the capacity to move millions and to resonate with each individual, and every lyric, every note, every beat has the potential to share a message." You can watch and hear their conversation here. Giddens's new album with Silkroad Ensemble, American Railroad, is out next week; their fall tour begins tonight.

    "Hurray for the Riff Raff is the perfect music for this moment," Anna Sale says of the guest on her Slate podcast, Death, Sex & Money. "In it, you hear the sweep of American history and propulsive motion, coming together in joy and protest and marking losses in family and community, and Alynda Segarra's voice—clear and melodic with a sly punk edge." You can hear their conversation, about Segarra's life and music, here.

    "There's a kind of dynamism and movement to it that's just exquisite," Ken Burns says of Leonardo da Vinci's work. "He could feel, I think quite rightfully, that he had lived a fuller life than practically anybody I've ever come across in my study in any period." Burns was on CBS Sunday Morning with his co-directors, Sarah Burns and David McMahon, to talk with correspondent David Pogue about their new two-part documentary, LEONARDO da VINCI, which airs on PBS November 18 and 19 and for which Caroline Shaw wrote an original score. You can watch the piece here.
