Here is what is playing on 91.3HD2, NestFM this evening.

Live Wire at 5 p.m.

In honor of Mother’s Day, host Luke Burbank and announcer Elena Passarello share some thoughtful mom-centric conversations: musician Michelle Zauner, a.k.a. Japanese Breakfast, discusses her memoir Crying in H Mart, in which she reconnects with her late mother and their Korean heritage through a love of food; Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes (In the Heights) reflects on how her mother’s use of language informed her writing career; and singer-songwriter Moorea Masa performs her soulful single “Honey,” a tribute to her complex relationship with the woman who raised her.

Filmspotting at 6 p.m.

Back in 2002, the superhero genre was still finding its feet. Tim Burton’s “Batman” had been huge in ’89, but the franchise it spawned had fizzled out by the end of the ’90s. The first “X-Men” film did decent box office in 2000, but failed to become a culture-defining event like the Burton film had. Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man”” changed all that. A massive success at the box office when it opened in May 2002, it acted as a bridge between the self-aware, still campy comic book movies of the past two decades and the effects-driven spectacle that has come to define our current “cinematic universe” era. With a masterful control of tone, an eye for staging memorable action, and a focus on character and relationships, the Raimi/Spidey combo was a winning one. For their 20th anniversary revisit, Adam and Josh talk about the pleasure of watching a self-contained superhero movie, and break down some of the film’s most iconic scenes.

Echoes at 7 p.m.

On a Slow Flow Echoes it’s new music by Evenfall, the collaboration of multi-instrumentalist Cass Anawaty and flute player Sherry Finzer. We’ll also get some ambient chamber music by Naneum from his album, Autumn. It sounds great in all seasons on Echoes with John Diliberto from PRX.

Jazz with David Basse at 9 p.m.

Jazz with David Basse surveys jazz’s wide range of forms and influences. You’ll hear everything from roots music and rare classic cuts to blues, Latin and the latest releases. Drawing on his lifelong experience as a jazz musician and recording artist, David punctuates his handpicked tracks with insights, anecdotes and brief interview snippets with well-known or up-and-coming artists.
