The Best Strangers in the World

As a long time NPR listener (though, I confess, not consistently of All Things Considered, I do the morning shows usually), I eagerly signed up to go to Politics & Prose's event at Sixth&i where Ari spoke about his book with Audie Cornish. It was a great conversation and I was glad I picked up a copy of the book while there.

The book is pleasantly short, and filled with essays glimpsing Ari's life and work. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of the Syrian Refugee Crisis and was moved by the essay around the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

I would have loved even more discussion of Sam Sanders' theory on hard and soft news. I'll have to do some of my own searching to see if Sam has talked about this on his podcasts!
