Sarah Spitz from KCRW sends me info each week about the new author interviews that Michael Silverblatt does for his Bookworm program. If you’re unfamiliar with the show, all of the previous editions, which you can listen to completely free, are archived here. Recent ones include Stephen Sondheim, Mona Simpson, Nicole Krauss, Gary Shteyngart, Susan Straight, etc.
