Arm wrestling, ballroom culture, the wild west of video games (aka, esports). The theme of this month’s edition of CITY Magazine is “play,” and as editor Leah Stacy writes, “Play is such a vital part of life, and there’s no better time than a Rochester July to think about it.”

This hour, we talk about CITY’S July issue and the best ways for you to play this summer. Our guests:
