A Poetical Tale: Butterflies on a Wheel

Today's audio is a reading by author Anthony Doerr of his essay entitled 'Butterflies on a Wheel'.  The piece is set in western Wyoming and is about a chance encounter between migrants.  Deorr's writing style is poetical and whilst he reads this story you get an immense sense of being there in Wyoming through his descriptive observations.

This programme comes from PopTech, who's tag line is 'world changing people, projects and ideas'.  If you like the generalist appeal of TED talks then Poptech will definately be your cup of Darjeeling.  They have a wide range of videos, all available as audio files to listen to on the go.
