By Andrew Leland • Sep 9, 2013 • 42m Listen

The September episode of the Organist features Kathleen Hanna, the musician and feminist activist known for Bikini Kill, and Julie Ruin, on writing her own eulogy. Comedian Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!, Hell Baby) stars in an audio drama about apprehending shoplifters at Urban Outfitters. Plus, a look into a Harvard study that tests the unconscious racial prejudices of three-yearolds. And, the amazing story of Chris Stroffolino, the poet, scholar, and ex-Silver Jew who lives in a 1983 Ford Econoline van with a piano retrofitted in the back. Produced by Jenna Weiss-Berman
