The Finest Podcast Live: Fact, Fiction and Fantasy - Featuring authors Moses Ose Utomi and Emily Greenberg: Be a part of the audience for a live taping of The Finest, KPBS' new podcast about the people, art and movements redefining culture in San Diego. Go behind the scenes of how a podcast is made, and dive into a lively conversation on truth, identity, storytelling and creativity with local authors Emily Greenberg ("Alternative Facts") and Moses Ose Utomi ("Daughters of Oduma," "The Lies of the Ajungo"). From pop culture- and politics-inspired experimental fiction to YA fantasy rooted in West African mythology, their work explores how societies — both real and imagined — wrestle with truth and lies, facts and fictions and what it all means for the stories we tell.
