Myth, Walkman, Le Guin

Studio 360

Host Kurt Andersen and special guest, author Marina Warner talk about how ancient myths permeate culture and entertainment, from Wagner’s Ring Cycle to Ramstein’s heavy metal music, and movies like the new film by the Coen Brothers to Dungeons and Dragons. We’ll also go behind the scenes as preparators construct a museum exhibit and deconstruct the design of the Walkman.
