Thank you very much for that generous evaluation. It means a lot coming from you, as a long-time radio devotee (and someone never afraid to let me know when I am full of it), and I will work all the harder on these knowing that you’re listening.

Yes, it should be a really interesting listening (and watching) experience! Thanks to you and Beth for confirming my suspicions that Trills’ music is indeed quite good.

Thanks, Peter. I guess an interviewer has to try and imagine what an average member of the audience would want to know and ask that question. Of course, that gets pretty subjective — you have to make a lot of guesses about what the audience actually knows and is interested in. You’re right about Siegel being a master. I’ve also been studying Stephen Colbert for tips.

Beth, I’m glad you found this thought-provoking. I see you have a new piece up on the Phoenicia blog today about the future of micro-publishing, and a good conversation already started there in the comments.

Glad to hear it! I hope to keep the variety going, while still focusing on poetry or literature in the majority of episodes. I don’t think it will ever be the sort of show to discuss strategies for linebreaks or how to write the perfect sestina, because I’m hoping to interest a broader audience than just poets.

I’m more ignorant about electronic music than you, so I appreciated the questions for that reason, too. (By the way, I really enjoyed the conversation.)

I’m sure I could quit anytime. No, really. In all seriousness, though, it’s been a very compelling show especially in the variety of topics you address.
