Description:

This hour (newscast compatible) has artist David Greenberger (Duplex Planet) in conversation with host Jay Allison discussing the ways of conversing and recording our elders.

The Transom Radio Hour grows out of the web site Transom.org which is devoted to the art and practise of public radio. It's the first and only stand-alone website ever to win the Peabody Award. It's an open master class for story-telling in sound. Like the site, the radio series has a practical and instructional tone, encouraging people to do it themselves.
