Inspired by Douglas Kahn’s piece “Reagan Speaks for Himself” (1980), in which Kahn carefully edits together Ronald Reagan interviews to concoct a hilarious and surreal story, “Ira Glass Speaks for Himself” is a proposed long-form troll radio play in which one of radio’s most recognizable voices is mercilessly edited to tell a mind-boggling, magical realism-core, ambling non-story.

Tune in for selections from Wave Farm's Transmission Art Archive, a specialized online resource of artists' experiments with the electromagnetic spectrum in form or concept. The resource contains primary materials from early microradio broadcast collaborations among Brooklyn-based artists in the mid-nineties, transmission works created by the hundreds of artists who have participated in Wave Farm projects, broadcasts, and residencies, as well as historical and contemporary projects that comprise the canon of the genre.
