Publisher's Summary:

In June of this year, a Gallup poll found that one in five Americans said they would not vote for a Mormon president. Documentary director Trevor Hill explored why in his documentary The Religious Test.

Then, when Pastor Robert Jeffress called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a cult on national television, Mormons and even some non-Mormons took offence. But the incident proved that, although the LDS church continues to grow in numbers, there are still many people who dont understand who or what they are. With Mormon Republican nominee Mitt Romney campaigning fiercely for the presidency, Matthew Bowmans book The Mormon People: The Making of an American Faith, now out in paperback, offers context and explanation for this sometimes mysterious religion.

Title: Studio 360: Breaking Bad & Black Sabbath

Author: Kurt Andersen

Narrator: Kurt Andersen

Format: Original Recording

Length: 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-12

Publisher: WNYC New York and Public Radio International

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

"I am amazed that this show is on the air constantly amazed because on paper this show shouldn't work," Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan tells Kurt Andersen. Its the story of Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), an underachieving high school chemistry teacher and suburban dad in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He begins cooking crystal meth in desperation, worried about his medical bills and the future of his pregnant wife and handicapped son. But it gets worse: as the series progresses, Walter spirals downward from a good person making bad choices into a remorseless drug kingpin. "We're taking our good guy and we're making him bad," Gilligan says.

Next, and you thought Schindlers List was long? At 3 hours, 15 minutes, its a trailer compared to a film called The Clock, which clocks in at 24 hours. Directed by Christian Marclay, The Clock is a mash-up of more than a thousand movie clips even Marclay doesnt know how many. Each shows characters discussing the time, or a clock in the frame, so that the film itself functions as a timekeeping device. Sounds more like an endurance test than a work of art, but its a surprisingly popular one: last summer, four thousand people showed up for a screening at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Among them, one man stayed the duration without a wink or he claims even a bathroom break. KCRWs Matt Holzman found out what makes The Clock so watchable.

Then, Porgy and Bess was groundbreaking: an opera about poor African-Americans in South Carolina, starring a cripple, a tramp, and a drug dealer. Theres a new production on Broadway now entitled The Gershwins Porgy and Bess, but its not the one George and Ira presented in 1935. Audiences get new dialogue, back stories, and orchestrations courtesy of playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, director Diane Paulus, and musical director Deirdre Murray.

And finally, twenty years ago, just as indie rock started to be called indie rock, John Darnielle formed one of its great bands: The Mountain Goats. The New Yorker called Darnielle "America's best non-hip hop lyricist; his songs are moody, literary, maybe a bit navel-gazey. But Darnielle's biggest influence isn't Leonard Cohen or Nick Drake. He was, and is, a metalhead. [Broadcast Date: July 21, 2012]

Title: Studio 360: Mad Men Style & Fifty Shades of Grey

Author: Kurt Andersen

Narrator: Kurt Andersen

Format: Original Recording

Length: 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-12

Publisher: WNYC New York and Public Radio International

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

Hand it to AMC's Mad Men: on its own, it has reshaped the way we think about the 1960s. Much of that is the work of costume designer Janie Bryant, whose outfits and shifts in style signal the tensions of 1960s America.

Next, sellers and publishers of books from all over the world convened in New York this week for their annual convention, Book Expo America. Conference discussions focused on e-books, social media, and self-publishing, but the real buzz was about an old-fashioned phenomenon: a printed and bound bestseller that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Then, the erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey, about a young woman named Anastasia and her bondage-loving boyfriend Christian, has been jumping off shelves (and into e-book download queues) since it was released by Knopfs Vintage imprint earlier this year.

Following that, what would Canada and the US look like if we gave each other a makeover? Kurt Andersen joins forces with Jian Ghomeshi, host of the CBCs daily arts and culture program Q, for our new redesign project. All through June, the two programs will be giving each countries' brand identities a much needed jolt.

Then, each of us can call to mind a clear image of many dinosaurs. Thats surprising, since no human ever set eyes on one. The images that we have derive largely from the work of one man, Charles R. Knight.

Then, over the last 50 years, the writer Paul Theroux has visited most of the countries on Earth, traveling in a deep, slow, observant way most of us never do. And his novels are often about people more or less like him: people who rip themselves out of normal Western lives, go somewhere alien, and maybe find out who they are.

And finally, Doc Watson, a giant of American folk music, died last month at 89. Watsons guitar and banjo playing was a powerful force in the 1960s folk revival, and his long career has inspired generations of musicians, among them Abigail Washburn. She was on her way to a career in international law based in China when she heard a recording of Doc Watson singing Shady Grove at a party. She fell in love with the banjo. I was struck by it as something that sounded uniquely American. I had this revelation: I just don't know enough about America. I love this place China but I don't know enough about my own countrys roots and culture and traditions. [Broadcast Date: June 9, 2012]

Title: Studio 360: Woody Guthrie & Andrew Bird

Author: Kurt Andersen

Narrator: Kurt Andersen

Format: Original Recording

Length: 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-17-12

Publisher: WNYC New York and Public Radio International

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

This Land is Your Land is the national anthem we actually know the words to. Americans sing it at school and summer camp; Bruce Springsteen sang it at President Obama's inauguration. Yet Woody Guthrie's song was once branded anti-American, even Communist.

Then, Anne Lamott started out as a novelist, but it was her best-selling 1994 nonfiction work Bird by Bird: Some Instruction on Writing and Life that catapulted her to fame. The book became a touchstone to writers and non-writers looking for practical advice on the hard work of creativity. Kurt Andersen talks to Lamott about the lasting influence of Bird by Bird, and how her life experiences make their way into her writing.

After that, Biologist Bernie Krause believes animals communicate with each other on their own frequency, and when you put all those frequencies together, they interact in a way not unlike a symphony orchestra. He calls it biophony.

And finally, Many artists wonder if the distractions of the modern world compromise their creative process. Songwriter and violinist Andrew Bird decided to put that theory to the test. Early in his career, after the breakup of a band, Bird holed up by himself on a farm in western Illinois. Lets see what happens when I stop listening to records, move out in the middle of nowhere, and have the space to experiment. [Broadcast Date: March 17, 2012]

Title: To the Best of Our Knowledge: Seeing and Perceiving

Author: Jim Fleming

Format: Original Recording

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-29-12

Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, we'll talk with Oliver Sacks about the neurobiology of vision. We'll also examine the science behind synesthesia - why some people can hear colors or feel the flavor of food on their fingers. First, Oliver Sacks, the celebrated doctor who writes about some of the brain's strangest disorders. His latest book, The Mind's Eye, is a study of rare visual impairments caused by neurological disorders. It's an unusually personal book for Sacks because it reveals his own struggle with a disorder called facial blindness. Steve Paulson talked to Sacks recently about some case histories.

Next, Susan Krieger is not completely blind, but her vision is bad enough to make her legally blind. Although she prizes her self-sufficiency, she recently got a guide dog, Teela, who is now her constant companion. She tells Jim Fleming that this raises some basic questions about how Susan Krieger thinks of herself, things she writes about in a memoir called Traveling Blind.

Then, Ken Nordine recites his word poem "yellow," which leads to a discussion of synethesia. a neurological condition which causes one sense to cross paths with another.

After that, David Eagleman is a neurologist and the co-author of the book Wednesday is Indigo Blue: Discovering the Brain of Synesthesia. Anne Strainchamps asked him to describe the condition.

Following that, Jim Fleming reads a short excerpt from Speak Memory, by one of the literary world's most famous synesthetes was Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote about his "colored hearing."

And finally, Chuck Close, a painter famous for his huge canvases and his uncanny ability to portray his subjects with almost photographic realism. He has a neurological condition that prevents him from recognizing people's faces. Today, Chuck Close is in his early 70s - still painting, with brushes strapped to his hand - and now the subject of a biography by his friend Christopher Finch. Close and Finch talked with Steve Paulson about Close's painting career. [Broadcast Date: February 29, 2012]
