Episode 1 of the UC Press Podcast is now available

InsgayGanganOK, I've been hinting around for a while that I had a new client, but I'm a little superstitious about making any full announcements until shows are in the can and getting ready to be sprung onto an unsuspecting world. I think I've crossed this line, so welcome to the UC Press Podcast, the podcast of the University of California Press, located in beautiful downtown Berkeley (my one Laugh-In reference. I'm trying to work more of them into general conversation, though).

In this first episode, I speak with Gayle Greene of Scripps College about her book, Insomnia, a field guide to insomnia. I was originally going to refer to it has a Baedeker's for insomnia, which is an OK metaphor and a bit of an inside joke with a friend of mine, but I started to wonder if anyone actually uses a Baedeker's any more, so I decided it might be a bit too obscure a reference and dropped it. The other segment is with Rajmohan Gandhi of the University of Illinois about his new biography, Gandhi: The Man, His People and the Empire. No pressure there when Mohandas Gandhi is your grandfather! It is a good and quite frank biography and I certainly hope he does not get too many cold stares at the next Gandhi family picnic.

Anyway, episode 1 runs 31:37 and can be heard by clicking here.
