Listen to both acts of the This American Life episode “The Problem We All Live With.” Then respond to the following questions, writing between 250-500 words:

1. When you click on the transcript for the episode, the page includes the following note: “This American Life is produced for the ear and designed to be heard, not read. We strongly encourage you to listen to the audio, which includes emotion and emphasis that’s not on the page.” What considerations do you think the producers took in designing this episode as an aural experience?
2. Related to the first question: How do you imagine the experience of listening to this radio show episode is different than it would have been to merely, say, reading Nikole Hannah-Jones’ ProPublica article about the Normandy school district? What does the audio allow for that print cannot?
