Friday’s broadcasts on WNHH radio looked at how the mayor’s favorite hair stylist got so good, Christmas foods in New Haven, and how Artspace New Haven is shaking up Christmas’ visual culture.
Karaine Smith-Holness, stylist for Mayor Harp and owner of Hair’s Kay Studio, joined host Babz Rawls-Ivy for “LoveBabz LoveTalk.” They discussed how hair styling fads — from holding spray to a new love of natural hair — and what Smith-Holness has learned from her move to New Haven from her native Jamaica.

On “Dateline New Haven,” host Paul Bass welcomed back “the best pundits in the city”: Rawls-Ivy, radio pro and “The Show” host Michelle Turner, Ugly Radio’s Joe Ugly, and New Haven Independent reporter Markeshia Ricks. They discussed the week’s news, including where Church Street South’s residents are going and why Northland is footing a cookie bill, the extension of the schools superintendent’s contract, and relocation of tenants at Strouse Adler.

War or no war, you’ve still got to pay your taxes. It’s still 1842 on “This Day in New Haven History,” and that activity is now even patriotic. New Haven’s grand list was published today with the city pretty prosperous, and the total put at about $314 million. My co-host, Jason Bischoff Wurstle of the New Haven Museum, also read excerpts from remark made at the first “simple funerals held before sunset daily for heroes at Pear Harbor.” Nobody yet new the full scale of the losses. Perhaps that’s why, we also read, housewives in town and throughout the state reported a foreign substance they thought was glass in containers of Japanese crab meat. It turned out to be a shiny preservative, but not all the inspectors were willing to accept that. To listen to the full episode, click on or download the above audio above.
