Remember when we debated whether I should go back to NPR? And you were all for it?
Remember how this brilliant artist, who should know a thing or two about culture, started getting all insistent that I get myself on the radio, or find myself a public forum in which to tell my stories? He wants me to be the next Spalding Gray, the witty, frantic voice of my generation, but without the personal neuroses, depression and suicide.
Remember that an impartial measure determined that I have a good voice for tv and radio? Because I do!
Well dig this, baby -- the time has come to put it all to the test.

I sat next to Spalding once while lunching at the Noho Star in New York. It was a thrill. I didn't want to interrupt his lunch meeting, but once he died I regretted not having taken that opportunity to tell him much I admired him and enjoyed his work.
I'd be honored to have a link on your site, thanks!
