His Royal Badness died yesterday. He was 57.

This hour, an appreciation of Prince.

Plus: Last month at a club in New Jersey, a Margaret Cho standup set got kind of out of hand. So she went back to the same club, invited back the same audience, and tried again -- with Jerry Seinfeld as her opening act.

Listen to Wolfie's thoughts on Prince and his song, "7".

GUESTS:

  • Jim Chapdelaine - Emmy Award-winning musician, producer, composer, and recording engineer
  • Theresa Cramer - Writer and the editor of E-Content Magazine, and founding editor of The Cut
  • James Hanley - Co-founder, Cinestudio at Trinity College
  • Carolyn Paine - Actress, comedian, and dancer, and the founder, choreographer, and director of CONNetic Dance
