Summer is winding down, even though it seems like just last week we were swimming in the Rhine and spending long nights by the grill. This week on the show, we played new songs from the season that we didn’t get to in past weeks. You’ll hear fresh tracks from Kylie Minogue, Snow Patrol, and Post Malone with Dolly Parton. We also go back in time with artists like Prince and Fleetwood Mac.

School is back in session, work vacations are in the past, and temperatures are beginning to dip. This week on The English Show we celebrate September and still try to hold on to the last bit of summer. In our culture calendar, we highlight some fun indoor and outdoor events. Soak up the last rays of summer sun, or hide in a cool movie theater if the heat comes roaring back for one last hoorah. 

The international arts community has united to support Lisa Horten-Skilbrei, a beloved dancer from Ballett Basel who has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.

The first debate in this year's U.S. presidential election is Thursday, 27th June. From there, it's a sprint towards Election Day. The two major parties will host their conventions. There'll be one more debate. And a lot more campaigning in the meantime.
