Ginger Radio Hour: Sy Montgomery (Audio)
Dec 01, 2024
"When hens are calm, nothing is more soothing than their voices, especially when punctuated by the occasional grunt of a sleepy pig. Sometimes, lulled by their cozy, restful sounds, I lose track of time, enveloped by a sense of belonging, washed in peace and wholeness among a sisterhood of hens." That's from Sy Montgomery's glorious and calming new book What the Chicken Knows. Sy and I chat, and I curate two hours of music full of chicken nuggets.
Host Justin Maiman from Cairo, shares his latest inspirations on the "Ginger Radio Hour." The show features music, field recordings, performances, and interviews, primarily with people in and around the Catskill Mountains of New York live from WGXC's Acra studio.
