Best of the Best presents the winners of our 14th annual TC / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition. Innovative and insightful, the stories will engage, provoke, entertain, and transport listeners, proving that all you need to discover new worlds is…a little box and an antenna. This year’s winners were especially memorable, here’s a sampling: “Burroughs at 100”, an extraordinary profile of influential author William S. Burroughs, hosted by Iggy Pop; “The Hospital Always Wins”, a ten year journey to discover why a talented artist is being held in a mental hospital; “Help Wanted”, a delicately told tale of a young man addicted to porn, and his search for help; and “Leaving a Mark”, a riveting story of an ex-con who turns to Craig’s list to have his swastika tatoo removed.
