Drew Carey is no stranger to the world of game shows. In 2007 he became Bob Barkers’ successor as host of The Price is Right. He’ll tell us the special advice Bob gave him when he took over, and explain why he doesn't expect to match the 50-year tenure of his predecessor.

Yesika Salgado is a poet and activist, whose work has been featured in many publications. She also has a strong presence on social media. She'll explain why she refers to her fans as "mangos" instead of "followers." Plus, she'll tell us about the secret science (and lack thereof) behind slam poetry.


Drew - Garage rock

Yesika - 'Dirty Dancing'
