The CariorkerAuthor: Todd Conner
Dreaming out loud in the over-cast cloud between New York City and Rio de Janeiro, The Cariorker brings podcast subscribers all the classic culture of "The Marvelous City," Rio de Janeiro. And yet, what you find here is in English, translated and performed by New York actor/writer Todd Conner. With some help from a few of Rio's best musicians, your New Yorker host takes you on a deep-dive every other week into the rich literary past of "the Carioca" -- the native-born denizen of Rio -- bringing to light the hidden Lit, packing it up for export, and posting it for special delivery to the modern New Yorker, or anyone else stateside who has a heart for old Rio and an ear for storytelling. If you listen long enough, you might find that you're a Cariorker, too. Language: en Genres: Fiction Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

Tuesday, 16 February, 2021
What's in a name? In Rio de Janeiro you might be surprised. Cecília Afonsopena was born in Rio de Janeiro, but her family roots extend well into the country's interior and into the early days of the First Republic. A great grand-daughter of the Brazilian President Alfonso Pena, Cecília is a true "carioca da gema" who cut a swath in New York City in the 1970s. www.thecariorker.com
