Stories You Can’t Tell on the Radio

With Anne Heppermann, Scott Gurian, Sally Herships, Ilya Marritz and Shia Levitt.

Come watch and listen as professional radio journalists tell an evening’s worth of stories, some live, some recorded, along with tales, some too silly,  some too dark or personal, to make their way out to audiences of millions. This evening we’ll focus on tales from backstage, between the folds and behind the scenes – the tape, info. and crazy bits that can’t be shared on air. This event will not be recorded so turn off your cell phones and focus on the here and now before the tellers and tales both, slip away into the dark anonymous folds of history.
