Ginger Radio Hour: Black Holes (Audio)

May 02, 2023

According to physicist Janna Levin: "Black holes are nothing. Black holes are special because there's nothing there. There is no thing there." Sounds special indeed, but also lonely. So we've made a playlist for all the black holes across the universe.

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.
