Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Radiolab's Jad Abumrad: "Gut Churn" on Saturday, September 26, 2015.

Jad Abumrad is the host and creator of "Radiolab," a public radio program broadcast on 524 stations and downloaded 9 million + times a month as a podcast. He employs his dual backgrounds as composer and journalist to create "a new aesthetic" in broadcast journalism.

Using dialogue, music, interviews, and sound effects, he creates compelling documentaries that draw listeners into otherwise intimidating topics - the nature of numbers, the evolution of altruism, or the legal foundation for the war on terror. In 2011, "Radiolab" was awarded the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award, and Abumrad was honored as a MacArthur Fellow. "Gut Churn" is his solo multimedia exploration probing the role of uncertainty, fear, and other emotions in the creative process.

Tickets can be purchased online, by calling the Box Office at 540-231-5300 or by visiting the Box Office in person within the Moss Arts Center from 10 am - 6 pm, Monday-Friday and 10 am - 4 pm on Saturday.
