A tale of literary intrigue and suspense

Can you teach somebody to be a good writer? Not necessarily, but you certainly can give them the time to become one. Investigative reporter J.P. Allen brings us this week a mystery set in the ivied halls of the Middlebury creative writing program. He tracks down the culprits - the intrepid authors learning the trade - through a labyrinthine series of links that is the decentralized creative writing scene.

Also, since this is our last week of programming, we've prepared a going away present: Radio Arts Redux. It's a sort of "best-of" mash-up of some of our favorite moments of RAM this academic year. Click the link to download the 5-minute audio montage, or listen to the WHOLE SHOW and hear both Allen's story and the remix in one go.

This is our last program of the year.

We’re not really sure of what the future of Radio Arts will be, but we hope that we see you again, in whatever monstrous form we will take. We want to thank Liza Sacheli-Lloyd for her undying support of the program, and to all of our guests, who have been too kind in letting a faltering, stuttering public radio debutant probe their expertise and air their wisdom. Of course, to you listeners, we owe everything. Thank you.

Signing out,
