Automated Call-Response Center for the Weinbaum Residence

The New Yorker Radio Hour | Feb 5, 2016

Calling mom just got a lot harder for David: “If you are family, please press one. If you are a friend, press two. If you fall somewhere on the associate-to-acquaintance continuum, press three.” Becky Ann Baker performs “Automated Call-Response Center for the Weinbaum Residence,” by Gavin Shulman, which originally appeared on newyorker.com’s Daily Shouts.

Produced by Jill Du Boff.
