Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen

Human Intelligence: A Holiday Tale

Kurt Andersen’s version of a Christmas story doesn’t have your typical talking snowman or mistletoe. Instead, this holiday tale involves extraterrestrial surveillance and melting polar ice caps. "Human Intelligence," was produced for radio by <a href="/people/jonathan-mitchell/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jonathan Mitchell,</a> and stars Melanie Hoopes, John Ottavino, and Ed Herbstman. The unabridged version was published in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061230936/studi360-20/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"Stories: All New Tales,"</a> an anthology edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio.
