Every year I love going through the 92Y catalog to check off which talks and concerts I want to attend. “The Y,” located on 92nd Street and Lexington Avenue in NYC, is known throughout the world as having one of the most comprehensive programs for lectures; concerts featuring classical, jazz, and popular music; literary readings; and film screenings.

I feel a sense of loss when I miss one of the programs I’ve checked off. As I get older, the chances of me missing a program is far greater as we travel more and spend a lot of time in Miami.

You can imagine the joy I experienced when I found out about the 92Y On Demand eNews showcasing the best of its programs. As a subscriber, I receive email updates about the latest talks, readings and concerts that are available online. There is also an archive. Check out the Livecast page to see which events you can watch live online. I also search for the segments on YouTube where the Y archives them.

I have included two of the recent interviews above: Alec Baldwin and Sting. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be able to take advantage of 92Y programs from remote locations.

The digital world just keeps getting better and better. Below are just some of the folks who have participated in Y programs.
