  • 10 AM Our guests Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein are the authors of the “Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .” From the publisher’s website: “This New York Times bestseller is the hilarious philosophy course everyone wishes they’d had in school has been a breakout bestseller.”
  • 10:20 AM Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler is back on the program. His new book is called “Intercourse.” The Chicago Tribune says that Butler “conveys the thoughts of people (and in one instance, chickens) in the act of copulation. On one page comes the monologue of one participant, on the facing page his or her partner's. That the two are pressed together when you close the book is a nice little bonus.”
  • 10:40 AM We are calling this segment “The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival: It Is All About The Song” Featured are the interviews, live and studio performances from this year’s festival. We’ll hear from Chris Smither, Eliza Gilkyson , Janis Ian, Patty Larkin, David Massengill, Jack Hardy, Bill Evans, Eddy From Ohio, John Gorka, Vance Gilbert, and Martin Sexton. Janis Ian talks about her new book “Society’s Child: My Autobiography.” Also appearing are the artists who were showcased on The Falcon Ridge- The Most Wanted: Anthony da Costa, Lindsay Mac, Randall Williams, and Joe Crookston.
  • 12 Noon “The Low Anthem” performs live in our studios. They were featured in the emerging artist showcase on Friday July 25th at Falcon Ridge. They are from Providence Rhode Island and have a unique and engaging style.
  • 1PM Kathy Zimmer also joins us live. Although not a featured performer at Falcon Ridge her heart is at the center of her writing. She performs often with her two backup singers, the Sugar Bowls. She has independently released three albums, all to critical acclaim--Under Your Spell, dreamin' and Spare Key (produced by Julian Velard).
