Interviews with Authors

[Wills]

I post this link just by way of information, it is an audio link to BBC interviews with international authors, poets, film directors and musicians.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/frontrow/interviews.shtml

I don't think this breaches any Lit. rules, it is public service broadcasting available free.

That's really cool, Wills, thanks for posting that. I'll try and have a listen to some later. There's some good authors in that list, Terry Prachett being the most notable.

Did you ever hear that interview Radio 4 did with a group of London NaNo participants? It was pretty good stuff. I think it's still around somewhere on their site. It was broadcast within the 'You and Yours' programme.

This is excellent Will's... thank you.

This reminds me that I have heard some wonderful interviews with authors on the Diane Rehm show on NPR; here is a link - check out the Archives to listen to interviews.

I gave an interview once on local TV, (Cable). It went alright, but personally looking back now I think it was probably boring compared to the local Hockey Team's scores. LOL

Thanks Lou and JJ

Hope some find them interesting.

Hey Dirtman - dust off those tapes, get them into the BBC.

I can hear it now, "This evenings Book at Bedtime is read The Dirt Man from his short story collection Dirt Man's Extreme Erotica"

That will get the blue rinse brigade one to remember.

Dear Wi,
Thank you for the link. I must hear what my favorite author (T Pratchett) has to say.

I was thinking of you as much as anyone MG when I stumbled across it.

Incidently if you navigate the site, under Comedy there is a quirky program called "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" - no it's not audio AH on Lit. - but it is comedy word play in the Monty Python mould, I think one of the MP cast is in the show.

PS Just to titilate they have, most weeks, eccentric word definitions and an imaginery Swede called Sven!

Dear Svenskaflika

It is quite another person, male, though he never speaks.

Entirely lacking in your charm, elegence and linguistic beauty.
