Live in Aspen (Studio 360: Friday, 18 July 2008)

Multiple personalities. In a program recorded live at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Tony Award-winning performer Sarah Jones transforms herself into a dizzying range of characters – from a Jewish grandmother to a young male rapper. Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, who developed the theory of multiple intelligences, gives some free analysis to audience members. And country rocker Steve Earle sings about leaving Tennessee, performing tracks from his new record <em>Washington Square Serenade</em>.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=A3YurJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=A3YurJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=1d931J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=1d931J" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=g4G19J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=g4G19J" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wnyc_home/~4/339591652" height="1" width="1"/>

Operation Homecoming (Selected Shorts: Sunday, 20 July 2008)

<strong>”…I walked across a pitch dark highway. Somebody was wailing in Arabic, hypnotically, repetitiously. A single car headlight was burning, a single shaft of light, beaming across the road, like an accusing finger. </strong> <br />--Sgt. Jack Lewis, “Road Work” <br /> American soldiers fighting in the Middle East recount their experiences in fiction, poems, memoirs, and letters.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=jxVhOJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=jxVhOJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=nGrNoJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=nGrNoJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=HzVTtJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=HzVTtJ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wnyc_home/~4/340369018" height="1" width="1"/>

Sean Smith (Spinning On Air: Sunday, 20 July 2008)

Guitarist/composer Sean Smith creates adventurous instrumental pieces for steel-string guitar, inspired by his ongoing quest for reality, his fascination with a 1930s prose poem, and the pleasure of riding the bus to the library. Sean brings his guitar to the WNYC Studio to perform, and talk about his music with host David Garland. Influenced by the "American Primitive" sound of John Fahey, by minimalism, and by a his own rich sense of harmony and the nimble dance of his fingers, Sean explores engrossing musical worlds with his guitar. This show first aired Nov. 25, 2007. <br /><br /> <a class="more" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spinningonair/sets/72157603254600272/show/" target="_blank">View photos from the session</a><br /> <br /> Sean Smith at <a class="more" href="http://www.myspace.com/seansmithlives" target="_blank">MySpace</a><br /><br /> artwork by <a class="more" href="http://www.juliebrownsmith.com/" target="_blank">Julie Brown Smith</a><br /><br /> Elva William's "Night In a Rented Room" at <a class="more" href="http://www.amazon.com/Night-rented-room-Elva-Williams/dp/B00088X4O8" target="_blank">amazon.com</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=mtc6PJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=mtc6PJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=hZkhrJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=hZkhrJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?a=MzCl8J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/wnyc_home?i=MzCl8J" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wnyc_home/~4/340369019" height="1" width="1"/>

Five Four Time (The Fishko Files: Friday, 18 July 2008)
