&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we discuss &lt;a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5441df7ee4b02f59465d2869/t/566608a9bfe87338abafae58/1449527465744/CHEEVER+++The+Enormous+Radio.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&amp;#8220;The Enormous Radio&amp;#8221; by John Cheever&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="https://tnsatlanta.org/wp-content/uploads/The-Enormous-Radio-Cheever.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;alternate version&lt;/a&gt;). What can we learn from this 1947 New Yorker story? How does the distinction between public and private life drive a story? How do stories rely on insights about human psychology? How does a story that predicts the future show us what it means to be human? How can we use fantastical elements to explore the psychology of characters?&lt;/p&gt;
