About this listen
El apagón -- the never-really-explained, mysterious power outage of Spain: Jen talks about her experience with it and how maybe we all need some outages in life here and there. Maybe we need to "stop all the clocks" and "cut off the telephone"* for ourselves to be able to remember what it feels like to be human. Remember? We used to talk to real people, face to face, without looking at a screen?
"Big Clock" Li Young Lee
"The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls" Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
*edit from the episode: Jen incorrectly cites the title as "Stop All the Clocks"; the title of the poem actually is "Funeral Blues" by W. H. Auden
