Ep. 112: Times of Our Lives




State of the Human show

Summary: Today's show is about the different ways we experience the time of our lives. In our first story, Aaron Zarraga and Hanna Michelsen explore the evolution of nostalgia and how it has become a way for us to cope with our rapidly changing lives. Then, Rachel Dowling, Daniel MacDougall, and Tom Wiltzius interview families about how one particular kind of time 'the time of grievin' has been changed radically by advances in medicine. Finally, we hear the story of how two people decided to make the time of their own personal lives synchronize with major historical events. Produced by Nadja Blagojevic, Kirstin Ganz, Sam Tanzer. Featuring Amy Freedman, Chris Noxon, the Dowling family, the Vantrain family. Music by Chris Ayer, Brad Wolfe and Dave Chisolm. Hosted by Micah Cratty.
