The Fall of the City by Archibald MacLeish was the first American verse play for radio and was broadcast live from the Armory in 1937, featuring a then unknown Orson Welles. Inspired by the premiere of this new art form, this meetup gathers podcasters before an Armory audience to record episodes for their series on topics related to science and credulity, confidence and conspiracy, and the power of storytelling. Participants include Randy Cohen (Person, Place, Thing), Ramzi Fawaz (Nerd From the Future), and Dr. Karen Tongson and Dr. Megan Auster-Rosen (The Art of Grief).
