I haven't read his book yet but I imagine the conversation is linked to his short story collection?

It is. It sounds pretty good. I'll have to check it out.

Last year, One Story published one of his pieces, so he's definitely got something going for him if one of the most challenging publications to get published in took up his piece.

(Though, I'm sure his name certainly helped improve his chances of getting published. Even so, they don't publish garbage.)

I definitely look forward to reading it then.

I'll stick with the local CBS Newsradio station.  I might throw on NPR if I need a snooze.

There's a lot of great shows on NPR, but i guess it depends on what you enjoy. I also enjoy watching actual informative documentaries for fun too. I'm listening science friday right now. It's great.

"bout the only thing I might tune in to NPR for would be if PJ O'Rourke was on.

You're missing out. Shows like radiolab and freakanomics are incredibly interesting and informative. Marketplace is great for economic news. The various news shows are very thorough and balanced and keep the sensationalism to a minimum. Wait wait don't tell me is a riot, and ask me another is fun and hilarious too. There are so many great shows.

didn't no the thing exsisted until today. 

Check it out if you're ever tired of listening to five hours of commercials with a light sprinkling of music that you find on most radio stations. Or if you feel like learning more. It's my go to radio station if I'm driving and i drive a lot for work.
