Up In the Air with Radiolab

HOST: Meg Wolitzer

Description

Host Meg Wolitzer presents four works that were presented as part of our live evening with WNYC’s Radiolab and hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser. The theme was flight in many imaginative manifestations. Randa Jarrar’s “The Lunatics’ Eclipse” is a fable-like story of romance and interstellar travel, read by Abubakr Ali. Our second story is “Roy Spivey,” by Miranda July, and is a sly and gentle probing of celebrity culture. Molly Bernard reads it. Don Shea’s “Jumper Down” bares the vulnerability and resilience of a rescue worker. It's read by Becca Blackwell. And our last story, “My Life as a Bat,” shares the secret life of a mysterious creature in fact and fable. It’s by Canadian fiction master Margaret Atwood and is read by Zach Grenier.
