Group learning and collaborative skills are status quo in today's classrooms - which can be tough on introverts, especially when they're the teacher. On today’s show, the high burnout rate for introverted teachers.
Also, remember the days of The Shadow, and The Green Hornet? We'll hear about a live stage show that takes comic book radio drama to a new level.
And "Cash for Your Warhol", the story of a fake business that became surprisingly real.

The Cosmic Ray Catchers
Rays from outer space sound like science fiction. But in fact, hundreds of particles flung from outer space pass through our bodies every minute. They’re called cosmic rays and they shower every square foot of our atmosphere by the thousands every second. These particles come mostly from the sun and other stars in our galaxy. But some cosmic rays are immensely powerful and very rare. They seem to originate from beyond our galaxy. For decades scientists have wondered where they're coming from – and what could possibly be hurling them at earth. Now they're getting closer to finding out. Producer Ross Chambless brings us the story.
