<b>Lecture Abstract</b>:<b> </b>Stories bring us together and tear us apart. Wherever we live, we are tied to our neighbors by vicinity if not by affinity. In Allison’s work he focuses on bringing the two together. In a divided time, finding ways to listen
is one protection against fighting; true narratives defend against false ones; connection is an antidote to polarization. Allison will talk about the hope he has for public media values in radio, on the internet, and in podcasting, using examples from The
Moth, WCAI, Transom.org, and his favorite artists and producers.</div>
