[REBROADCAST FROM April 4, 2025] We air highlights from our March Get Lit with All Of It book club event. We read Mothers and Sons by Adam Haslett, a novel about a New York City asylum lawyer grappling with the events that led him to become estranged from his mother.

Adam Haslett's 'Mothers And Sons'

From the Soundcheck archives, we'll hear live performances of music for string quartet by Fred Frith, Huang Ruo, and Sir John Tavener. We'll listen to the Calder Quartet, the Carducci Quartet, and the Chilingirian Quartet, respectively.  But first, there's music from Steve Reich.  We'll listen to movements from his "Different Trains."
