This week in Studio 360, taboos are broken. Jill Soloway talks about her film Afternoon Delight, in which a married woman brings home a sex worker to be her nanny. And in our series American Icons, we look at “Anything Goes,” Cole Porter’s enduring anthem to being naughty — we gave the song a reboot for the age of sexting, bank bailouts, and fries with bacon. Plus, the three sisters of Haim, whose power-pop anthems refer to Fleetwood Mac as much as Rihanna.
