Olympics Outtake? The Treasure Toss

Janny Scott explains how saving things helped her grieve – and preserve her connection with journalist Joseph Lelyveld ---------------When someone you love dies, the grieving process is different for each of us.  But one thing is always the same: You&apos;ve got to decide what to do with the things your loved one left behind.Janny Scott experienced this in January 2024 when Joseph Lelyveld, her partner of 19 years, died from complications of Parkinson&apos;s Disease.Joe had been a star at the New York Times, eventually becoming executive editor (the top editorial position) and winning a Pulitzer Prize for Move Your Shadow, his 1985 book about apartheid South Africa. From his career and travels, he left behind some genuine treasures. But mostly, Janny was surrounded by everyday items that filled their apartment, especially the contents of Joe&apos;s tiny home office.So Janny made a deliberate decision.  She&apos;d leave Joe&apos;s office exactly as he left it, creating what Janny calls The Museum of Joe.In this episode of I Couldn&apos;t Throw It Out, Janny – a former New York Times and L.A.

What a much-loved partner left behind

You heard how I smashed violins as kid (in a previous episode). Hear how I saved one as an adult.-----These days, we all could use a story with a happy ending, right?Well, here&apos;s one that answers the question: What ever happened to a family heirloom I inherited from my father?When last we spoke of my father&apos;s treasured violin (previous episode: <a href='https://www.throwitoutpodcast.com/listen-up-a-violin-lesson-with-strings-attached/'>Listen up! A Violin Lesson with Strings Attached</a>), I was headed off – once again – to learn how to play it. Did I find a way to make music that wouldn&apos;t hurt your ears? Or did something much better happen?To answer those questions, I have expert help from violin virtuoso Amelia Bailey – who worked in the shop that repaired my father&apos;s very old violin. She also dared to be my violin teacher.Amelia shares with us a fascinating world that few people see:  the inner-workings of the famous New York City workshop, David Segal Violins. She walks us through the intricate and excruciatingly difficult task of restoring violins, and then solving the mystery of their origin.How does this relate to my musical family saga? Maybe you&apos;ll understand after you hear the tape of my father playing his prized violin... at age 96. His dream was for his violin, which he valued more than any object on earth, to be played beautifully by a family member. And what happened at David Segal Violins determined if his wish could come true.Ultimately, it all comes down to a solo violin performance that might blow your mind. It would certainly thrill my father, who may be listening in some kind of heaven. I hope it&apos;ll bring some joy to you too.Watch the entire performance: <a href='https://www.throwitoutpodcast.com'>throwitoutpodcast.com </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1996116/fan_mail/new">Have thoughts about this episode?

1991 flashback: Hear candid talk about female rappers, obscenity, sexism, and more with Salt-N-Pepa, 2025&apos;s newest members of the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame -----------When I interviewed Salt-N-Pepa for my 1992 book <a href='https://www.abebooks.com/9780806513614/Break-Down-Story-New-Leaders-0806513616/plp'>Break It Down</a>, they were among the most successful rappers on the planet. One platinum album and another coming soon.  Sell-out concerts around the world.But did I include them on my list of the top 5 hip-hop groups? Nope.Oops.  That was a mistake.  Now that Salt-N-Pepa are getting inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame, it&apos;s clear that they changed everything. With their DJ Spinderella and their producer Hurby Love Bug, they helped push hip-hop into the pop charts, where we&apos;ve heard it ever since.If you missed &quot;Shoop,&quot; &quot;Push It,&quot; &quot;Whatta Man,&quot; &quot;Let&apos;s Talk about Sex&quot; and other Salt-N-Pepa hits – or if you still love those songs – here&apos;s some good news: I saved my audio tapes for 34 years.  Now you can listen to my never-heard interviews, as Salt (Cheryl James) and Pepa (Sandra Denton) talk about their music, their private lives, and share their thoughts about sex, pregnancy, AIDS, abortion, friendship, and on and on. To give some perspective to Salt-N-Pepa&apos;s 1991 thoughts, I&apos;m joined by Clover Hope, author of the 2021 book, <a href='https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Motherlode-Audiobook/B0CBQLZF4M?srsltid=AfmBOorGFs1GtxXITQOnYqAScZ_X_-7ZJE9EI3-JC9FG9qUDmhO_Wyas'>The Motherlode, 100+ Women Who Made Hip-hop</a>.Not only does Clover help explain what Salt-N-Pepa contributed to our culture, she also helps me make the fateful decision: In my latest round of Swedish Death Cleaning, should I toss my Salt-N-Pepa possessions? Or should I keep them? Of course, there&apos;s one gift from Salt-N-Pepa that I&apos;ll never lose – their famous song hooks that latch onto my brain:  &quot;Ah, push it! Push it real good!&quot; &quot;Shoop, shoop-a-doop, shoop-a-doopa-doopa-doop.&quot; Want to bounce to those and other songs we discuss?  You&apos;ll find links at <a href='https://www.throwitoutpodcast.com'>throwitoutpodcast.com</a>.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1996116/fan_mail/new">Have thoughts about this episode?
