Chatter

Among the many radio interviews from last week were two long-form call-in shows, both on Public Radio. If you’d like to waste an hour or two, have a listen. (You’ll need to launch your Real Player to listen to these.) The first is from the Kathleen Dunn show, in Wisconsin — lots of chat about native son Joseph Dutton in this one. Earlier in the week I was in Washington D.C. talking with Kojo Nnamdi, and of course we touched on the Washington D.C.-based story of John Early: crank, victim, outlaw, and, as readers of The Colony know, the nation’s first leprosy activist.

Last month I did a reading in San Francisco, at A Clean-Well Lighted Place for Books. The reading — and a question and answer session with the audience — was recorded and broadcast as part of Writer’s Voice Radio. If you’re interested, take a listen. (One caveat: the audience members’ questions were not picked up by the microphones, so you’ll just hear my answers.)

By the way, an unabridged audio version of The Colony is available, in CD and also MP3 formats. For more details, check here.
