This week on Studio 360 Kurt Anderson talks to novelist Howard Jacobson about his new book, Kaloooki Nights, speculates on Shakespeare’s race politics, and talks about LVHRD’s “Iron Chef-like contests for creative professionals.”

Tune in to Studio 360 on PRI, WNYC, or listen to the podcast to hear a discussion of LVHRD’s Master-Disaster Architect Duel III where two teams of architects were tasked with the challenge of building a model green roof network across a four building span of Stuyvesant Town, Manhattan.

The catch: teams were given 25 pounds of cheese, the only substance on Earth capable of recreating the flexible qualities of Reduraflex 768, to work with.
