The co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered Ari Shapiro is bringing his one-man cabaret show to the Baby Grand in Wilmington.

“Thank You For Listening” adapts narratives from Shapiro’s best-selling memoir “The Best Strangers in the World” into a litany of stories and songs about the power of listening to bridge divides.

In this edition of Arts Playlist, Delaware Public Media’s Martin Matheny is joined by Shapiro for more on “Thank You For Listening.”
