Look at this poll number from Gallup: 67% of U.S. adults are dissatisfied w/ the quality of education. Perhaps, the way learning takes place at The Met offers a glimpse of what might work. Ep 2 of The Advisory out now. @samanthabroun.bsky.social @nathardy.bsky.social www.classof2006.org/episode2

When did Stanley Kubrick start on down his path to becoming STANLEY? Was it when his dad gave him a camera? Was it when he sold his first photo to Look magazine? Or was it... See where *you* think it all began. First ep of "Stanley" out today (!!) from @tcmtv.bsky.social and @criterion.bsky.social.

A story SO big it needs three separate trailers! "Stanley" (as in Kubrick) on The Plot Thickens. As story editor, maybe I'm not supposed to have a fav but I really like #3. The actor Sterling Hayden delivers tape! @tcmtv.bsky.social

Imagine: Your high school calls you up 20 years after you graduated and asks "Did it work? Are you leading a life of your own design, a life you love?" That's just what The Met High School in Providence, RI did. The answers will make you rethink education. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox8g...

"Wait. What? How does this school work?!" The Met in PVD, RI is that unconventional. And they're asking an important question: 20 years later, did your education at The Met matter? Hear the compelling story the graduates of 2006 have to tell. @samanthabroun.bsky.social @nathardy.bsky.social

Question: What's your favorite audio essay? Something memoir-like. Maybe there's some sound in it. Maybe there are other voices. But, mostly, it's one person telling a story. Ideally, it's a story written by someone who doesn't typically make radio. Thoughts? Thanks!

Years ago, Bianca Giaever listened to 546 audio tapes from the deceased poet Franz Wright. Her organization process was a bit all over the place. “It’s all a disaster,” Bianca told @rob-rosenthal.bsky.social on a past Sound School episode. Hear how Bianca made sense of hours and hours of tape:

Coming up on The Sound School Podcast: "Amen, Chenjerai." The standing-room-only audience at On Air Fest hung on Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika's every word as he offered a kind-of sermon on how he dug deep and found his voice for "Empire City." @chenjerai.bsky.social @prx.org.
