Hey listeners, we usually use this podcast feed to deliver all the conversations we have on my live

radio show, but today we're sending you a little something extra. WNYC Studios partnered with

Theater of War to do what theater of war usually does on a stage on the radio instead. And what do

they do? Well, they take pieces of important journalism and present them

by having top-tier actors perform readings from the articles and then hold discussions about

the reporting, sometimes including the reporter or their subjects, sometimes including the actors,

and always including questions and comments from listeners like you.

WNYC and Theater of War are partnering on four specials along those lines,

including the one you're about to hear.

So follow WNYC and Theater of War on social media to learn more about past and upcoming programs.

And without further ado, here's Theater of War on the radio.

From WNYC in New York,

this is Theater of War on the radio.

I'm Kai Wright.

It's good to be here.

This is the third of four live specials we're doing, and I'm joined in the studio by Brian Dorees, who is the artistic director of Theater of War.

Brian, remind us what we are doing together with our listeners in this live special series.

Oh, at Theater of War, we work with incredible actors to perform texts of all kinds,

from poetry plays to historic documents to pieces of journalism.

And we do that to spark powerful conversations about pressing issues of the present moment.

And that's what we're going to do tonight with all of you listening on the radio.

It's exciting stuff.
