Piece Description

This hour (newscast compatible) has producers Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva (The Kitchen Sisters) in conversation with host Jay Allison discussing the ways of approaching and talking with strangers. Works include excerpts from The Kitchen Sister's work as well as Transom pieces Metronaps by Chelsea Merz, Death Qualified by Alison Freeland; Buffalo Turkey Tail by Andy Raskin. 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.
