Up in the Air
On today’s show: We’ll look at the not-so-friendly skies—rising fares, airplanes that are losing their roofs and air traffic controllers snoozing on the job. We’ll learn about life at one of the country’s last fire lookouts. We’ll hear about the Belarus Free Theater’s production of “Being Harold Pinter.” And we'll talk about a new documentary about when and how we should forgive.

#3194: New Music with Voices
For this New Sounds, try on some layered voices in music by Julianna Barwick. A superchoir of many Juliannas combines with warm drones and hypnotic piano to bring to mind Sigur Rós in a glacial cathedral. Plus, there's also music from Toby Twining's latest, "Eurydice," which began as a score for Sarah Ruhl's play of the same name, and evolved into a many voiced interpretation of the Orpheus myth. Those works, and much more.
