January 27th & 28th, 2012, on The Signal…

Humorous and heartbreaking, gentle and piercing, sweepingly epic, and intimately personal:  The band Over the Rhine embraces life’s paradoxes, and we talk with band-member Linford Detweiler about “The Long Surrender,” an album that celebrates the tenderness of human imperfection.

Sound artist and MICA Professor Jason Sloan gives us a preview of “Signal to Noise,” a new audio installation that explores how the interplay between intentional sound and the inherent noise associated with electronics affects our sonic media experiences.

Plus:  We consider the stereotypes leveled at people who rely on public assistance when we meet Barbara Morrison.  Her memoir is titled, “Innocent:  Confessions of a Welfare Mother”
