We soak in the design of a popular household luxury — the bathtub. Kurt Andersen and record label executive Danny Goldberg explore the intricate machinery of star-making, and we meet the creative workers that help the stars shine. Pianists talk about the joys and frustrations of accompanying, and we visit a factory where the assembly line workers make art. Plus, we hurtle toward the earth with a Hollywood stunt double.
The story you just read is available for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
Make a gift today, and you’ll get us one step closer to our goal of raising $25,000 by June 14. We need your help now more than ever!
