On Tumblr, Fresh Air itself highlights the conversation between Martha Bayne and Zoe Zolbrod about Bayne’s Rumpus essay “Knocked Over: On Biology, Magical Thinking and Choice.”
Bayne recorded a Fresh Air interview about the piece that—as you know if you’ve read the conversation—never aired.
Thanks for the sympathetic shoutout, Fresh Air! We love you back!
