“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.
