  • The Voices of NPR
    Episode 11 – Michael Goldfarb – All Along the Watchtower The Voices of NPR And now a personal word, Michael Goldfarb has the voice of a journalist who has witnessed important events. He speaks with weariness and authority. His voice evokes a chorus of NPR announcers who report from near and distant places. Writer Dierdre Mask noted in an article in the Atlantic magazine, “We can’t see NPR reporters, so we have to picture them. And because they are with us in our most private moments—alone in the car, half-asleep in bed—we start to think we know them.” And we do think we know them. Their voices are iconic: distinct, informative, comforting, familiar. Their voices are the sounds of our better selves when we are bright and learned and engaged in the affairs of the world. No matter the day’s events, they give us hope that in a crazy world, sense and sensibility will prevail. Here are a few names I grew up with: Susan Stamberg, Bob Edwards, Carl Kasell, Noah Adams, Linda Wertheimer, Robert Siegel, Scott Simon, Cokie Roberts, and Bob Mondello. Each name evokes a voice, a style, a beat, that is the news soundtrack of our lives and shared imagination. We hear their stories as they report from bureaus from foreign capitals: Eleanor Beardsley, Paris; Rob Gifford, London; Ofiebea Quist-Arcton, Dakar; and, of course, Sylvia Poggioli, Rome. We hear war correspondents in the thick of battle: Michael Golfarb in Northern Ireland and Bosnia; Kelly McEvers in the midst of death and kidnapping in the Arab Spring, Tom Bowman among the fire and mortars of Helmand Province, and David Gilkey ambushed and killed by the Taliban.

  • (Edited by Sydney Lewis) Jad Abumrad
    The Transom Review Volume 12/Issue 4 Jad Abumrad September 2012 (Edited by Sydney Lewis) Jad Abumrad The Transom Review–Vol.12/ Issue 4 Intro from Jay Allison It’s not everyone who manages to design new modes of storytelling. Jad, with his pal Robert Krulwich, have invented ways of blending sound and voice into something musical–both familiar and strange, primal and sophisticated. In his Transom Manifesto, Jad reflects on the birth of Radiolab, the ways we discover things without realizing it, the difficulty of changing, and the burdens of geniushood. You can hear early mock-ups, seminal conversations, inspirational moments, and thoughts about what to do next. Jad recently won a MacArthur Fellowship and it’s brave of him to speak publicly, since all expectations from now on will be unreasonable, but this is very good stuff. Come check it. The Terrors & Occasional Virtues of Not Knowing What You’re Doing Anyone who knows me knows that much of the time, I have very little idea what the hell I’m doing. Sometimes by design, sometimes not. Choosing that character flaw as my topic was the only way I could get comfortable with the idea of writing a manifesto. A bit of background… The MacArthur Foundation (http://www.macfound.org/programs/fellows/) recently made a terrible mistake and awarded me a fellowship, a so-called “genius” grant. It’s a wonderful honor that comes with many benefits but also a small curse, which is that people suddenly expect you to be smarter than you are. To talk like a genius.

  • Adoptive Couple V. Baby Girl
    Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl Thursday, May 30, 2013 - 05:00 PM This is the story of a three-year-old girl and the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court case Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl is a legal battle that has entangled a biological father, a heart- broken couple, and the tragic history of Native American children taken from their families. When producer Tim Howard first read about this case, it struck him as a sad but seemingly straightforward custody dispute. But, as he started talking to lawyers and historians and the families involved in the case, it became clear that it was much more than that. Because Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl challenges parts of the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, this case puts one little girl at the center of a storm of legal intricacies, Native American tribal culture, and heart- wrenching personal stakes. Veronica, the little girl at the heart of Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl (Courtesy of John Nichols) Male: Wait, wait – Female: Okay? [Background noise –program intro] Male: All right. Female: Okay? Male: All right. Announcers: You are listening to Radiolab from WNYC and NPR. Jad Abumrad: Hey, I’m Jad Abumrad. Robert Krulwich: I’m Robert Krulwich.
