Merry Christmas from The Takeaway! In honor of the holiday season, we’re spending the day thinking about giving. Here, you’ll get an hour packed with thoughtful conversations that highlight the power of giving through poetry, music, laughter, and even technology. This Christmas you’ll hear from:
Katy Sewall, a senior producer at Seattle public radio station KUOW and host of The Bittersweet Life podcast, met an 8-year-old girl named Gabi Mann this year. Gabi has received dozens of shiny, sparkly gifts from crows over the past four years. Sewall shares what she learned about this extraordinary girl and her crow friends with The Takeaway.
As we close out our Christmas special, we hear from America’s poet laureate, Juan Felipe Herrera. He discusses the giving power of poetry and the importance of using language to name history.
