Disillusionment about the existence of a mythical and wholly implausible Santa Claus has come to be a synonym for many kinds of disillusionment with what parents have told children about birth and death and sex and the glory of their ancestors. Instead, learning about Santa Claus can help give children a sense of the difference between a “fact” — something you can take a picture of or make a tape recording of, something all those present can agree exists — and poetic truth, in which man’s feelings about the universe or his fellow men is expressed in a symbol.

Radiotopia: A Storytelling Revolution

If you love Radio Stories Podcasts this is a project for you to know and support. If you don't love Radio Stories Podcasts, you are missing a lot. 

This is what makes me not to notice that it is not raining anymore and I am the only one walking on the street with an open umbrella.

We are a collective of amazing storytelling radio shows. Let's remake public radio together.

Pianophase.com is a performance and visualization of the first section from Steve Reich’s 1967 piece Piano Phase. Two pianists repeat the same twelve note sequence, but one gradually speeds up. The musical patterns are visualized by drawing two lines, one following each pianist. The sound is performed live in the browser with the Web Audio API, and drawn with HTML5 Canvas.
