Hit Play is back for a bonus episode: an audio presentation of Sheryl Oring's I Wish to Say. Since 2004, I Wish to Say has been inviting the public to dictate postcards to the President while a typist transcribes those messages using a manual typewriter. Sheryl sat down with the New York Neo-Futurists virtually this November to type our own letters to the President-elect and share some of the most memorable letters from her 4,000-letter archive.
