“I saw that I could use fantasy as a way to talk about the most important things that have to do with the politics and society of today.”

Gregory Maguire is the author of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

“The perception of a face is always a compromise between the visual cues before our eyes and the baggage we bring to the table, like the stereotypes we hold."

Jon Freeman is Assistant Professor of Psychology at New York University and researches how we use facial cues to instantly categorize other people into social groups.

“I have the amazing luck to sit in a studio, don earphones, and talk to the men and women who are revolutionizing the way we live.”

Kara Miller is the host and executive editor of Innovation Hub, a nationally broadcast radio show from WGBH and PRI.

"I get to help people sleep at night, hear music in ways that they never have before, and not be bothered or agitated by noise."
