public radio trolling

Culled from this weekend's public radio listening, for your enjoyment:


  • profile of Atom and His Package, hilarious Weird Al/TMBG-like songs with keyboard
  • the parents of Liza Lister, a six-year-old girl who died of leukemia, discuss her understanding of her approaching end; possibly the most despairing thing you will EVER hear, but also quite incredible, not for the easily depressed
  • intro to the theremin (third item down, a few supplementary links)

That Liza Lister piece made me realize how reluctantly we talk about death, if at all, and what a relief it is when we do. I lost it at "a part of me will die with you, and a part of you will go on living with me," but not because it was depressing so much as out of gratefulness that they got it right. It was also blissfully free of theology, which it made it more beautiful to me. Thanks for linking it, nedlog.
