Snap Judgment is the storytelling phenomena electrifying
audiences nationwide. Created by Glynn Washington, produced by WNYC, and
launched on NPR stations five years ago, Snap delivers a raw, intimate, musical
brand of narrative -- daring audiences to see the world through the eyes of
another. Snap Judgment LIVE features the world's finest storytellers, on stage,
backed by Snap Judgment band.
We ask Snap storytellers to dig deep, and marvel as they
create magic.
Snap Judgment is heard weekly on over 365 public radio
stations, and downloaded over two million times a month. The Atlantic magazine
hailed Snap's Glynn Washington as "the first African American (NPR) host
to swing a big cultural stick, the first who seems likely to become a public-radio
superstar on the order of [Ira] Glass. . .”
Before Snap Judgment, Glynn worked as an educator,
diplomat, community activist, actor, political strategist, fist-shaker,
mountain-hollerer, and foot stomper. Glynn composed music for the Kunst Stoff
dance performances in San Francisco, rocked live spoken word poetry in Detroit,
joined a band in Indonesia, wrote several screenplays, painted a daring series
of self-portraits, released a blues album, and thinks his stories are best
served with cocktails.
