enjoying a love affair w/public radio

hereabouts (hearabouts? Ha!) we have that stalwart Pacifica station KPFA, but lately have been listening to NPR a lot (KQED radio, 88.5 locally broadcasting out of S.F.) where ourowndarnedself recently enjoyed listening to a couple of things we about to share with you. Today, during our lunchtime errands, Talk of Nation's Science Friday show was a broadcast from Tucson (not yet available online, but be patient my preeteez...) on the subject of chile peppers. Link available here...

Definitely worth spending a little over 30 minutes of your life listening to, from Wednesday's Fresh Air, an interview with Michael Greenberger on the topic of recent financial shenanigans in the news...

We mentioned another interview with Andrew J. Bacevich some posts back, this interview comes from Thursday, Sept. 11th broadcast:
Is This the "End of American Exceptionalism"?...

and lastly, jessferdahalibut, in celebration of the opening of the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola, Mississippi, this rebroadcast from October, 1996...

on my mind a great deal of late is the loss of David Foster Wallace, and I got a lot of related linkage stashed away, mebbe post something over at d'monkey about it, but for now, this item from the New Yorker online will suffice...

Johnny boy, thanks for pointing to the Greenberger interview - I started listening to it when it was first broadcast but got pulled away and forgot to go back.

(And, woof, all that's happening since then...)
