This week, host Isaac Butler talks to Anthony McGill, principal clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic. In the interview, Anthony describes his weekly routine, which includes practicing lots of different pieces at any given time, rehearsing, and playing multiple shows per week. He also talks about his meditation practice, his ability to play and be swept away by the music at the same time, and his Grammy-nominated album American Stories.

After the interview, Isaac and co-host Ronald Young Jr. discuss the different preparation timelines of musicians and actors.

In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Anthony talks about meeting some of his musical heroes.
