Today’s episode is a sad one for me. It’s the last interview with one of my favorite authors and guests – Cai Emmons. I first met Cai in October 2018 when she came to the KBOO studios for a live, in-person interview on her novel Weather Woman. Due to the pandemic, our subs... Read more

It’s Thursday, December 22nd, just two eves away from Christmas Eve, and we’ve been in somewhat of a quandary as to how to celebrate on today’s show. I think the classic story for this time of year is Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, first published on December 19th 1843... Read more

It’s summer and Jonesy himself is no where to be found. Off climbing mountains in Tibet, or, more likely, flushing top-secret documents down the toilet. So we’ll be re-airing an interview I did for Between the Covers, back in May 2020, the early days of the pandemic, with a... Read more
