World's Best Interviews Ever and of All Time: Gurganus, Lisicky!
Listen to episodes 21 and 22 of the award-winning broadcast, with guest authors Paul Lisicky and Allan Gurganus!
Also in 21, Marc and John discuss the Morning News Tournament of Books and debate who's the better recidivist male between Updike's Rabbit or Henry Bech. One of John and Marc's cherished students, Trisha, calls in with a question, and one of Marc and John's parents, Jack Nardone, shares his thoughts on Erik Larson's Devil in the White City!
In 22, our co-hosts highlight their favorite fiction characters of all time AND ever, and they share their love of McSweeney's and other American literary magazines . . . at least those worthy of mention. (Our co-hosts, after all, have to be aware of the ripple effects of their statements on unstable governments and fragile economies!)
Don't worry -- it's okay you missed it -- but catch up before next Tuesday!

Susan Orlean Talked to Us!
It's true. Marc and John were skeptical but once they witnessed her proficiency on the topics of the German Shepherd breed, artistic performance on Twitter, and rare exotic flowers, they knew it had to be none other than Susan Orlean! Listen to Episode 20 and their live interview, as well as a discussion of the Association for Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) conference in Seattle, WA and B.J. Novak's "One More Thing" in the context of literary humor.
Then . . . take next week to catch up on past episodes as John and Marc will be enjoying Spring Break by . . . er . . . teaching and grading. Next up on 3/18, author Paul Lisicky and a discussion of John Updike's literary legacy! Listen . . . and call in . . . but first read, then ask. (Huh?)
