Logan Nonfiction on WAMC-NPR (Part I)
“Every year, the Carey Institute for Global Good in rural Albany County serves as a refuge for noteworthy writers, journalists, and documentarians from around the globe. The Institute’s Logan Nonfiction Program recently wrapped its first 10-week session of 2020 fellows.
If you wanted to tackle the world’s problems, a 100-acre estate perched amid the Catskill Mountains might not be the first place you’d think to go. Rather, it seems like the ideal hideout to get away from it all — and yet, the Carey Institute in Rensselaerville has long brought the world to its doors through community forums, diplomatic conferences and, since 2015, the Logan Nonfiction Program.”
We were so honored to have WAMC 90.3 FM, the local NPR affiliate, come to our campus during our Spring 2020 Session. Reporter Jesse King spent the day with a number of our fellows, learning more about their projects. She split her interviews into a number of episodes. Listen to the first one here, featuring fellows Julio Batista Rodriguez, who discusses his project on seven coastal towns threatened by climate change in southwest Cuba, and Judith Matloff, a Columbia University professor who shares the final stages of her book, “How to Drag a Body and Other Safety Tips You Hope to Never Need.”
