Facing Fear with Andrew Bird, Jennifer Egan, and Hari Kondabolu

Studio 360

Live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a show devoted to the theme of fear — the kind that that can motivate us, and the kind that can stop us in our tracks. Andrew Bird and the Hands of Glory join us for a song about escape; comedian Hari Kondabolu riffs on fears of change; and Jennifer Egan talks about what it was like to tweet a short story — after her account had been hacked.
