The Unreal Season: "Song Of Increase"

Stay safe and healthy!

#14: Message in a Bottle

In 1973, a bank robbery captivated Sweden and led to the conception of "Stockholm Syndrome." In "The Ideal Hostage," Kristin Enmark, the woman first diagnosed with "Stockholm Syndrome," goes back to that bank to cast off the stigma of a syndrome that never made sense to her.

#12: A Little Bit of Grace

In the early 1950's, renowned dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham produced a series of solo dances, one of which was called "Changeling." Merce never taught it to any one else, and when the performances stopped less than ten years later, the dance disappeared. With the discovery of a video of the dance in 2014 by director Alla Kovgan, we explore, through the legacy of Merce Cunningham, how dance is particularly susceptible to decay, how it is remembered, and how to bring back work that wasn't necessarily meant to be recreated.

#09: The Right to Oblivion- Part Three

If forgetting helps us forgive, how will the internet's relentless memory impact our ability to accept other people's past crimes and mistakes? In Right to Oblivion: Part 2, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger reveals what's at stake when we undo forgetting, and Frank Ahearn shows us how the internet can forget our past if we're willing to use deception.

Wonder

"The Wonder Years" married the bewilderment of a child with the nostalgia of an adult; and for a generation, the TV show created by Carol Black and Neal Marlens is a time machine back to the sixties, youth and innocence. In today's episode, we return to "The Wonder Years" with Carol Black and writer Titi Nguyen to reflect on childhood with the help of Kevin Arnold.

#5.5: Extended Stay - The Bike Incident

In our daily lives, we often accept that our memories are poor. We move on if our memories don’t exactly match up with another person’s, agreeing to disagree. But that’s not an option in court. And yet memory is as fragile and poor there as it is when we’re struggling to remember where exactly we had that second date. In "Court of Memory," our host speaks with Nathan Brown, an exoneree, Karen Newirth, a Senior Staff Attorney from the Innocence Project, and Julia Shaw, author of the Memory Illusion, as he explores the high stakes of remembering in the criminal justice system.

Featuring: Vanessa Gould, director of Obit; Nanna Arnadottir, columnist for Reykjavik Grapevine; Karl Blöndal, Vice Editor of Morgunblaðið; Kay Powell, retired obit writer and editor for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and more.

Since objects hold our memories, both joyful and heartbreaking, how do we decide what to throw out and what to keep? To explore memory's relationship to objects, we consider The Museum of Broken Relationships, The Significant Object Project and the phenomenon of tidying up expert Marie Kondo.
