Send us a text Today: Vol. 2 of The Coolest Songs in the World. This time, an end of summer edition. Summer is a metaphor, and here are some songs that remind me of summer--or make me think about summer (or a summer past).

I hope you enjoy the music. Playlist: The Coolest Songs in the World: End of Summer Editi...

So good, that when I do finish them, I turn directly back to page one. Amie Souza Reilly's Human/Animal: A Bestiary in Essays is one of thes...

Send us a text As someone who is over 17 years clean and sober, I’m always on the lookout for how addiction and recovery are portrayed in art and popular culture. When I came across Nick Gardner’s collection of linked stories, “Delinquents And Other Escape Attempts,” I thought this was as good a portrait of addiction and recovery as I have read. On today's show: A conversation with Nick Gardner, author of the linked story collection Delinquents, and other Escape Attempts, Nick Ga...
