Inside out, outside inI love the way this piece shows both the placid surface of the day, and the dangerous currents that flow beneath it. I was left wanting to know much, much more! |

Idyllic CloakWow! Carrier takes on the wide-world of dysfunction, hints at its disruptive power, and wraps it all in an idyllic cloak of innocence fringed with danger. This one left a knot in the gut. I hope he turns it into a novel! |

The best stuff on public radio!
I think that our friends have already covered it here, but this is great audio. Finally a reason to listen to public radio! Great job, Amy!
