John and Libby Modern

In this episode of the Infinity 88 Listening Hour you will hear about the ends, means, and limits of communication in this noisy, noisy world. Kelvin starts things off by explaining himself and his company to you. Libby and John then spin a few songs about sending and receiving. Folks trying to talk to each other through Google translate, others trying to respond to the call of the whales and dolphins in the sea, others getting caught up in the feedback, and still others who have cut through with the truth of what lies behind the signal. Featuring segments from Ari Kelman and Chip Callahan as well as the last single from Susannah Crockford’s “Conspiracy EP.” 

What a long strange trip it has been!


The first season of the Infinity 88 Listening Hour has bridged the gap between academic research, public discourse, and social outreach. In each episode, a newly restored Libby and John have considered the macrocosmic peaks and the uncanny valleys that are everywhere around us. By sharing research findings in an aesthetically appealing manner the Infinity 88 Listening Hour promotes a deeper understanding and appreciation for what is at stake in these perilous but incredibly hopeful times!
