In the middle of the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan, there's a massive fiery pit officially called the Darvaza Crater - but also known as the “gates of hell”. The fire - which is man made - has been burning for over 50 years. But now satellite images suggest that the brightness of the crater has started to dim. Turkmenistan is trying to finally put out the fire. Alex from the What in the World team tells us all about how the fire started and why it's taken so long to put it out. We hear from explorer George Kourounis who is (as far as we know) the only person to go down into the pit. And BBC journalist Alistair Coleman gives us some facts about Turkmenistan and its leaders.

Alistair Coleman was inspired by paintings of On Kawara on display at the Glenstone Museum in Potomac, MD. The artwork is a series of "date paintings" that were created on the days of the Apollo 11 launch, moon landing, and return journey. In this episode, the Abeo Quartet performs this new work by Coleman, Moonshot, commissioned by the Glenstone Museum. After the performance we talk about how the quartet put this piece together, new performance techniques required, and who would dare to go to space. 

Alistair Coleman is an award-winning and internationally recognized young composer from Washington, DC. Still a student at Juilliard, he is the youngest composer published by Schirmer, and his music is performed by renowned artists and orchestras like Zuill Bailey, and musicians from the National Symphony Orchestra and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. In this episode, I sit down with Alistair and talk about how composers write music. We discuss how geniuses like Mozart and Beethoven had such different writing processes, Stravinsky using headstands to "clear the mind" and Tchaikovsky walking for hours. He also shares some of his own music and how he composes.
