An hour of live radio is tough!

January 12, 2008

..especially when the producers are so well prepared that they’ve taken all your favorite talking points. WBUR’s On-Point radio show put together a really nice show with some really challenging questions, as well as some great audio clips, including a fantastic version of “Yes, We Have No Bananas” sung by Louis Prima. Also interviewed was Adolfo Martinez, director of the Honduran Foundation for Agricultural Investigation, the largest banana research facility in Central America. You can listen to the show, which aired on January 11, here. You can buy the Louis Prima version of the banana song at iTunes (and it is so worth the 99 cents!)

(The show also put together a nice web presentation of banana-related images.)

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
