Boy Golden

It's Thursday, October 22nd, 2026.

New York domestic violence programs are worried about funding cuts, NYCHA residents are getting a housing upgrade in the Bronx, and WFUV interviews singer-songwriter Boy Golden.

That's What's What today.

I'm your host, Gabby Macre.

Today, that long legacy of failure and neglect begins to come to an end.

It's part of a $783 million partnership between the city and development companies to modernize the community.

This week in music news, WFUV's Livia Regina shares some of Boy Golden's interview with the station.

Plus, a tribute to Graham Parsons and a musician's union pushing back on AI.

And if you like what you hear, please make sure that you rate and review the show so other music lovers can find it.

This is FUV Live Sessions with Boy Golden.

[upbeat music] I'm Megan Sama, and I'm here with host Benham Jones at WFUV.

Benum, before we get started, I do just wanna let listeners know that we actually have an event coming up, and tickets are on sale right now.

Tickets are on sale now.

You can get them on our website at wfuv.org or on eventbrite.com. And now let's get into the meat of this episode.

Benum, I will be honest, Boy Golden was a true music discovery for me.

I had not heard this music before Boy Golden came in for this session.

Um, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, you know, the ushe, the classics.

Um, and then, and also just, like, frankly, like, a lot of my friends are huge influences on me, like Madeline Roger, Boy Golden, Leith Ross, Tommy Cadams.

Um, I've been listening a lot lately to, like, Anna Tivel and, uh, S.G. Goodman and, uh, Bill Callahan, Leonard Cohen.

What about political influences? Like, who started to open your mind beyond the one building?
