In August, Studio 360 asked listeners to send us mail art. And you responded with fantastic enthusiasm. Streams of amazing things poured in through the mail drop from all around the world — a piece of toast, a coconut, a lump of clay, envelopes big, small, glittery, fragile, sturdy and crumpled. Kurt Andersen called some of the mail artists to talk about their work. Produced by Jonathan Mitchell, Michele Siegel, and David Krasnow.
