In their own words…"This is an experiment. An experiment of the "I" and a new way to get our stories read and heard.

They say it best: "One of the problems with our show from the start has been that whenever we try to describe it in a sentence or two, it sounds awful. It's a bunch of stories—some are documentaries, some are fiction, some are something else. Each week we choose a theme and invite different writers and performers to contribute items on the theme. This doesn't sound like something we'd want to listen to on the radio—and it's our show."
