I just woke up to this on the radio, and thought others here might like to hear it, too. It's audio-only. (I smiled when he pronounced "Tuolumne," which came up in a recent thread here.)

I enjoyed Dana Gioia's comments, especially the poem "California Hills in August," but I got the impression that the interviewer was completely focused on rattling off her script of questions, and wasn't listening to anything he said. YMMV.

Thanks, Julie. I enjoyed listening to it.

Thanks, Julie. What good use he made of his chess-clock time slots and predictable questions. You mention "Twalummy." I was impressed by "Del Nort" County. That's learning worthy of a laureate!
