Today AudioFiles presents stories of people using their creative skill and intellect to create and explore. We’ll hear about science getting a sense of humor, artists making the best of some of the worst land possible, and we’ll travel all the way to Antarctica with a team of British scientists. We’ll also talk with storyteller Jeff Simmermon and get another installment in our ongoing series about folk music from around the world. Plus, the band Slack Tide joins us live in the studio. Producer: Daisy Rosario Host: Adam Warner and Stories by Eli Chen, Tom DiChristopher, Jorteh Senah, Ajai Raj
