It's an honor to have my recording of "Hail! South Dakota" featured on the WNYC program: Only Human.
The episode is Dreaming of a Deaf Utopia. It's an interesting and moving story about Marvin Miller, a deaf man, who's dream was to design and build the town of Laurent; a town of deaf residents, businesses and government.
