"Black Mirror" & the Complicated Legacy of Alan Lomax




Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen show

Summary: Charlie Brooker was inspired by “The Twilight Zone” to create his sci-fi series “Black Mirror,” in which digital technology keeps biting us back in the spookiest ways. And we hear about folklorist Alan Lomax, who brought the blues to a wider audience, but enforced his own kind of musical segregation. And a conversation with the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Tracy K. Smith about her obsession with David Bowie.
