The world
of public radio is developing some wonderful new shows we want you to
hear, but they only exist in limited quantities (for now). This show gives
us an opportunity to share with you, our listeners, some of the nifty
new things in radio that aren't yet in full bloom.
State of the Re-Union with Al Letson
September 4-New Orleans, The Big Easy
Snap Judgement
September 11 - October 9
BackStory
is a brand-new public radio program that brings historical perspective
to the events happening around us today. On each show, renowned U.S. historians
Ed Ayers, Peter Onuf, and Brian Balogh tear a topic from the headlines
and plumb its historical depths. Over the course of the hour, they are
joined by fellow historians, people in the news, and callers interested
in exploring the roots of what’s going on today. Together, they drill
down to colonial times and even before, revealing the connections (and
disconnections) between past and present. With its passionate, intelligent,
and irreverent approach, BackStory is fun and essential listening no matter
who you are.
RadioLab
believes your ears are a portal to another world. Where sound illuminates
ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human
experience. Big questions are investigated, tinkered with, and encouraged
to grow. Bring your curiosity, and we'll feed it with possibility.
Snap Judgment
is about the decisions people make that change everything. Host Glynn
Washington takes listeners on a narrative journey leaping from
one person's frying pan into another person's fire through Deejay-driven
musical delivery, paired with lush sound design. Washington explains,
"It's storytelling...with a beat."
State of the
Re:Union was created by Al Letson as an entry in the Public Radio
Talent Quest. State of the Re:Union has set out to explore how a particular
American city or town creates community, the ways people transcend challenging
circumstances and the vital cultural narratives that give an area its
uniqueness.
The
Moth was founded by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who
wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on
his native St. Simon's Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of
friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda's
porch. The Moth Radio Hour
features true stories told live on stage without scripts, notes, props,
or accompaniment. Each hour mixes humorous and heartbreaking tales told
with honesty, bravery, and wit.
