Like you, I listen to Mony Tiksak's "Words on Books" whenever I can. It's a really good show, as I think we all agree, and it doesn't cost this radio station a single penny to produce.
Many Sundays I simply forget to go listen to myself. I already know where I'm going to cough and what I'm going to say. I wrote the script. So I miss it, the day goes on, no big loss. However, the program that follows Words on Books on Sundays, This American Life with host Ira Glass, is a different bag of bones. It's a must-listen, driveway-moment stunner of a show that never fails to elevate my spirit and my weekend.
The danger is that This American Life and a number of other expensive programs may soon be subtracted from the play list of this station, due to long and short-term budget shortfalls.
Words On Books for June 28 & July 1, 2009.
