88.5
Artist's Statement  
 
This piece, "88.5" is the NPR of the future. I happen to love Public Radio; it's one of the few things I will listen to over the airwaves. I especially like that in all of NPR's news shows, interviews and documentary sections they discuss subjects totally inconsequential to the lives of most listeners, but do their best to make it all sound quite important to the edification of the masses. Twenty years from now, I'm sure they'll be doing the same thing, only more so. Thus "88.5" is a glimpse into the glorious and ridiculous future of Public Radio if all the present indications are followed to their logical conclusions.
