Where but in Studio 360 can you hear Emily Dickinson sung to the tune of "Gilligan's Island"? Studio 360 is the place where a Freudian shrink can analyze a videogame about bunnies, a home improvement guru can rhapsodize about sheetrock, UN translators sing birdsongs, indie rockers sing gospel, a Hasidic Jew sings Bob Marley, and a surfer delivers the entire plot of Moby Dick in two minutes flat.
In Studio 360, Kurt Andersen – novelist, journalist, and co-founder of legendary Spy magazine - is our guide to what's happening in the culture. Dolly Parton tells Kurt why she modeled her look after the "town tramp." Jack Handey offers deep thoughts about how to make your skeleton scarier. Tori Amos explains how she made the piano cool for a generation of young women, and Zadie Smith shares her love of dead white English writers.

Cover Story
Hailed as "the Superman of Madison Avenue," George Lois helped drive the creative revolution that swept advertising in the 1960s. His provocative ads and magazine covers featured celebrities like Sonny Liston dressed as Santa Claus and Andy Warhol drowning in a can of tomato soup. He created campaigns for Xerox, Tommy Hilfiger and USA Today, and conceived the famous "I want my MTV" spots that helped launch the cable network. He is the author of several books, most recently Iconic America: A Roller-Coaster Ride through the Eye-Popping Panorama of American Pop Culture.
