A show for people of all ages that explores the strangeness that exists right here on Earth. In each episode, host Lulu Miller (co-host of Radiolab) will introduce you to a creature or earthly phenomenon that will defy your expectations of how nature is supposed to work. Along the way, you'll encounter a chorus of experts, including scientists, surfers, hip hop artists and…a "Song Bud" named Alan Goffinski who creates original songs for every episode. New episodes drop Thursdays. Listen in with your whole family. Or all alone. Webby nominated. Included in Pushkin’s Best Audio Story Telling 2022.

Episode: The Moon Itself

There’s a total solar eclipse coming. On Monday, April 8, for a large swath of North America, the sun will disappear, in the middle of the day. So in today’s episode, we stop treating the moon like a bit player in this epic cosmic event and place it center stage. We get to know the moon, itself—from birth, to middle age, to … death.

Every Voice with Terrance McKnight

WQXR, New York Public Radio

Technical Director and Sound Design

A show that spotlights the vibrant stories and perspectives that reflect the whole of the American musical experience.

Our debut season examines the representation of Blackness in opera. There are many different kinds of classical music, depending on where you are in the world. While this music typically preserves the traditions of a given society, classical music in America remains wedded to its Western European roots. On this show, we want to know why — and what America’s classical music really sounds like. Through interviews, historical investigation, and personal storytelling, Terrance McKnight unearths the hidden voices that have been shaping our musical traditions all along. Winner of Best Arts Podcast and Best Music Podcast at 2023 Black Podcasting Awards.

Timestamp: 10:50

In this piece, Sarita Bhatt and Alan Goffinski explore a common theme among those who immigrate to new places—the yearning to return to the lands and people left behind... to go back to where one begins. In doing so, they set out to experiment with a novel production technique; creating the first ever completely symmetrical audio documentary—a sonic journey that ends where it begins. When the tape is played in reverse, every word, note, and noise sounds exactly the same, down to the millisecond.
