Studio 360 is such a fine fine radio show today it delayed my attempt get out the door for a bike ride by featuring Dana Gioia. →[More:]He recites this simple and wonderful poem of his own. It reads well, sure, but I recommend clicking on his RealPlayer segment to hear his surprisingly candid comments about running the NEA, and to hear him turn the basic, plain one- and two-syllable words on that page into a performance that will make you stand still and listen. His web site is slashdotted right now or I'd link it, too.

Anyway, here's hoping you can get 360 on your local affiliate.
