Middle School Metal & Detroit’s Art for Sale

Studio 360

This week in Studio 360, Kurt talks with middle-school metalheads Unlocking the Truth. Performing together since kindergarten, the boys have long since mastered the art of slaying. They play live in our studio. Detroit reporter Mark Stryker discusses the unprecedented possibility that masterpieces from the Detroit Institute of Arts — Breughels, Van Goghs — could be on the table as an asset during bankruptcy proceedings. Kurt talks with Renata Adler, whose 30-year-old novels are some of this summer’s buzziest books. And we hear the final installment of our Hawaiian adventure with Jack Handey.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
