BaratundeCast: "We are making the news" Audio journey out of & back into a dark, post-hurricane NYC
Listen now
Description
From 4pm Monday 29 October until roughly 10pm Tuesday 30 October, I captured my journey walking out of Manhattan as Hurricane Sandy hit and then back in the next day after it had past. This podcast features solo commentary stitched together over time as well as interviews with friends and strangers I met along the way. Most of this recording features time spent at Bad Burger in the East Village. I'd like to especially thank the owners there for opening their business, their kitchen, and their hearts to the community. I also stopped in at International Bar on 1st Avenue and a few places in Chinatown. Thanks muchly to four friends who accompanied me for much of this journey: Anand Giridharadas, Priya Parker, Mariquel Waingarten and her husband Gaston.

Thursday May 4, 2017 I participated in a storytelling event at HousingWorks Bookstore in Manhattan. The title was "Teach Me You Did" and was a celebration of Star Wars Day, Teacher Appreciation Week, and the resistance. I shared the story of a family friend, James West, who taught me much.

Happy throwback Thursday all. In this post I read an article I wrote in Horizon, the school newspaper of the Sidwell Friends upper school. The article is from September 8, 1993. For more audio recordings of people reading articles out loud, visit http://baratun.de
