"Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen" is one of my favorite npr shows, because of its engaged and engaging arts focus. Host Kurt Andersen is never afraid to get into potentially controversial areas, such as how artists have engaged in and dramatized aspects of the Iraq War
The show for March 21st, 2008 is called "Stop-Loss, Black 47, Stew" and involves conversations with Kimberly Peirce (director of Stop-Loss), and journalist and playwright George Packer, who broke the story about the cost of collaboration for Iraqis who worked as stringers for American journalists.
"Sontag, Hemon, War" (February 29, 2008) involves interviews with Susan Sontag, Aleksandar Hemon, and representations of war.
