Kurt Andersen's "Human Intelligence: A Holiday Tale"
Monday, December 20, 2010 - 12:47 PM
Ah, Christmas. Time to sit around the fire with eggnog and tell stories of... extraterrestrial spies?
This holiday week, Studio 360 presents a new kind of holiday tale. 'Human Intelligence' is by none other than Kurt Andersen, and was published this year in Stories: All-New Tales, edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. Studio 360's Jonathan Mitchell created the audio cinema adaptation below.
Ed Herbstman (narrator) is a co-founder of the Magnet Theater in New York City. John Ottavino (Nicholas) has performed in 36 states and 7 countries, including a role in the Tony Award-winning production of 'A Doll's House' on Broadway. Melanie Hoopes (Nancy) is a writer, actress, and the host of 'Laurie Stanton's Sound Diet.'

Very creative and so well acted. I can't wait to listen to it a couple more times by podcast. Thanks!
A charming tale...
This is beautiful. Definitely one of the best Christmas stories I have heard in...a long time.
