Ah, Christmas. Time to sit around the fire with eggnog and tell stories of... extraterrestrial spies?

This holiday week, Studio 360 presents a new kind of holiday tale.  'Human Intelligence' is by none other than Kurt Andersen, and was published this year in Stories: All-New Tales, edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio.  Studio 360's Jonathan Mitchell created the audio cinema adaptation below.

Ed Herbstman (narrator) is a co-founder of the Magnet Theater in New York City.  John Ottavino (Nicholas) has performed in 36 states and 7 countries, including a role in the Tony Award-winning production of 'A Doll's House' on Broadway.  Melanie Hoopes (Nancy) is a writer, actress, and the host of 'Laurie Stanton's Sound Diet.'
