It finally happened: we talked so much mobile this week that we were unable to fit in listener questions. Of course, that means we're probably now on the fast track to another Listener Question Special, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it -- in the meanwhile, enjoy Episode 21.

AV Smackdown . . . The Podcast

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

This post is a reprint of a post by Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich that originally appeared at WNYC's Radiolab.


On May 6th, at WNYC’s new Jerome L. Greene Performance Space, we opened up an age old can of worms. Jad and Robert faced off over which medium is superior — television or radio. This American Life’s Ira Glass was the referee. There were stunning jabs, wicked uppercuts, and even the occasional low blow.

In TV’s corner, Robert “The Krusher” Krulwich hit hard with stunning video images, but audio-savant Jad “Boom Boom” Abumrad pounded his opponent with the power of sound. The bout went five hard rounds and had to go to the cards for a decision. Tears were shed, and after a short intermission Jad and Robert sat down with Ira to discuss the challenges of working in both TV and Radio.

Sometimes on the podcast we like to talk about musicians and the music they make. This podcast we want to introduce you to Juana Molina. Last season we used some of her of music in the breaks for the Sperm show. We received an outpouring of email asking about her music, so this podcast is for those curious listeners who wrote in and for those who haven’t heard about her … until now.
