Kurt Vonnegut Talks to the Dead

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 8, 2014

As part of WNYC's 90th anniversary celebration, Marty Goldensohn, former WNYC news director, shares excerpts from the station's 1998 series "Reports on the Afterlife." It's based on Vonnegut's book God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian, a fictionalized account of interviews with recently deceased people.

A reprise of Vonnegut's Reporter on the Afterlife with producer Marty Goldensohn.
