Radiolab: Grass Fed - Live at Little Island

Radiolab senior correspondent Molly Webster has us reexamine the thing right under our feet: grass. It turns out, the unremarkable green stuff all around us has a remarkable story to tell, one of transforming the planet and … us. From the food we eat, to the thoughts we think.

Including live music by foley artist Steven Wendt and storytelling by biologist David George Haskell.

Join Radiolab for three nights of live shows:

Friday, August 14th 5-6pm

Saturday, August 15th 5-6pm

Sunday, August 16th 5-6pm

This is a free, unticketed event. For more information, visit littleisland.org/radiolab
