Conductor Robert Frahn says a good melody captures our attention.
And then it moves you through time. Music is architecture in time. If you engage in the moment with what you're listening to, you do lose a sense of the time around you.
How we experience time. That's on the TED Radio Hour from NPR.
Hello, hello. I'm Brittany Luce, and you're listening to It's Been a Minute from NPR, a show about what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident. This week, we're connecting the dots between the stroke of a pen, handmade biscuits, and late-night truth social posts. I know, I know. How are all of these things connected?
Well, we're going to find out with NPR's White House correspondent, Danielle Kurtzleben, and MSNBC Morning Joe co-host, Jonathan Lemire. Danielle, Jonathan, welcome to It's Been a Minute.
Glad to be here.
Always happy to be here. Would you rather be caught up in a tornado or a hurricane? Hurricane.
Also a hurricane.
Interesting. I choose tornado. Maybe that's just because of where I'm from, you know, the Midwest. And I would just go down into the basement and stick there as long as I can. But I think we can all agree that the past few weeks have felt almost as overwhelming as natural disaster with the amount of news there has been to cover and follow. Sometimes it feels like I am drowning in information.
