Attorney Dayvid Figler grew up near the famous Las Vegas Strip in a hard-gambling family. Decades after becoming a lawyer, Dayvid meets Nann, a problem gambler who would become his client. In this episode, Dayvid and Nann unpack the emotional and life-altering effects of Nevada’s most lucrative industry. You'll also hear poet-performer-librettist Douglas Kearney and Afro-electronic musician Val Jeanty discuss the ways they surrendered to experimentation in the name of artistry while making their live album Fodder. Plus, novelist Walter Mosley presents a contrarian perspective on race and the color white in an excerpt from his 2015 lecture at BMI.
