How to Survive the Future
From Alex Chambers | 59:01
How to Survive the Future: A Special features two interviews from the future, introduced by an essay on Walter Benjamin and hope in dark times. In these "imaginative documentaries" we hear first from farmers in 2060 reflecting on how climate change affected their farm and their family. Then a doula and grandmother-to-be speaks from 2051, when she's planning for the birth of her first grandchild at a birth center.

There's music coming in to the radio station offices from a new bell tower. It makes it hard to concentrate. The staff speculates - who's playing it? was that really a Britney Spears song? - and one producer investigates, learning the history of carillons and reflecting with the carilloneur about the meaning of music you can't turn off.
