This American Life for August 07, 2007
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: “Blame It on Art”
The darker side of the art world: petty jealousies, competitiveness, failure. And what’s so great about art. David Sedaris tells the story of his short-lived career as a performance artist. Aaron Hsu-Flanders, an acknowledged master on the field of animal balloons, declares that artistic jealousies have ruined his life. The King of “Song Poems” and how his jazz son learned to love his music. And locksmith Joel Kosterman.
This American Life is an award-winning critically acclaimed weekly program describing and documenting contemporary American life. Each week a theme is chosen, and host Ira Glass and a variety of writers and performers share stories in a range of styles: monologues, documentaries, short radio plays, “found recordings,” and original works for radio. Music underscores many stories.
