The Miracle of Indoor Plumbing

Thursday, April 04, 2024

7:30 pm

Buskirk-Chumley Theater (no tickets needed)

Lecturer

Jad Abumrad

Distinguished Research Professor in Cinema & Media Arts and Communication of Science and Technology at Vanderbilt University

What is it that makes a story move you? Like really really move you?

After 15 years of making Radiolab and, more recently, More Perfect, Jad Abumrad found himself standing on a street corner, staring down at a manhole cover and thinking: indoor plumbing! Of course!

Join Jad as he deconstructs the process of finding and developing stories and creating new, original work. He will unearth the hidden ingredients key to the stories that inspire, change and connect us all.
