“Are You There, Barack? It’s Me, Artist.”

Studio 360

We asked some of our favorite artists what they wanted from our president-to-be. Listen to voicemail messages of their answers – no holds barred. In this installment: David Harrington of the Kronos Quartet, writer Cintra Wilson, and poet Edwin Torres. All voicemail segments produced by Sarah Lilley.

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!
