Hey folks, I’ll be on the radio in a couple of days … Wednesday, July 22 between at 6 p.m. The show is called the Creative Loafing Half-Hour Variety Hour, hosted by CL editor Cooper Levey-Baker, writer-at-large Tim Sukits, and I think food critic Brian Ries also joins in.

I’ll be on the show because, as many of you know, I contribute a monthly freelance column for Creative Loafing. So, the editor has invited me, along with another freelance contributing columnist, to be on the show and talk about, well, whatever crosses out minds, I guess.

The show airs Wednesday, July 22 at 6 pm on radio WSRQ 1220 am. It’s not a live show, so you can’t call in and pepper me with questions … but I am doing a live (free) gig this Thursday at Sarasota News & Books, where I’ll be reading some of my more recent work, and a few snippets from my book, Sideways in Sarasota, and then opening the floor to questions from the audience. That starts around 7 pm — there’s another writer who will be speaking before me, Theresa Rose, author of Opening the Kimono, and I’ll probably begin talking around 715/720. If you miss the radio show and want to listen in at any other time — just listen to the podcast by clicking here — MC on Creative Loafing’s Half-Hour Variety Hour.
