Chekhov's Mistress
On the Radio
Radio Open Source is a new Public Radio program and has been doing some interesting work lately. Tonights show includes the blogfamous TEV and Steve Wasserman formerly the books editor of the L.A. Times, and Kevin Smokler, author of Bookmark Now: Writing in Unreaderly Times. The show tonight covers literature and the internet. You can catch the site for some interesting pulled quotes and listening information. Here are a couple of quotes:

The best reading experience is to occupy your time with the worthy dead rather than the ambitious living.
- Steve Wasserman
It would be a mistake for publishers to be the most forward-thinking when it comes to embracing newest technologies of any kind. Most publishers proceed directly by staring into the rear view mirror at all times.
- Steve Wasserman
I see also that Richard Nash of Softskull had some enthusiasms to share in the comments section. Definitely worth checking out – and make sure to bookmark Radio Open Source.
Also, the Air America show “Liberal Arts” with Katherine Lanpher will be taping live next week at one my favorite spots, Housing Works Used Book Cafe. This blogger will be away on vacation then, but as happens so often these days, many of the events I post about are just wishful thinking.
Here are some details:
Wednesday, July 20.
Doors open at 7:30pm. Show starts at 8:00pm.
Suggested donation: $10.
Join us for another Summer Series edition of “Liberal Arts” is osted by Air America’s own Katherine Lanpher and taped in front of an audience at the Housing Works Books Café (directions) in New York’s Soho neighborhood.
