The Bat Segundo Show
In  July, The Bat Segundo Show will mark its one-year anniversary online. Over the past 365 days, this podcast series has released a dazzling array of interviews onto the Web. Part talk show (thanks to the "young, roving correspondent") and part performance piece (that's where Mr. Segundo comes in), the production offers in-depth discussions with such cultural and literary instigators as novelists, comedians, comic book masterminds, humorists, and media critics. A recent episode covered "'Popeye,' fascist Italy, eerie historical similarities, classic comedy teams, journalism vs. novel-writing, free lunches, on being frightened by Bat Segundo, zoot suits, and how to crash parties." And that was just the beginning. Whether Mr. Segundo is feeling "cold and impoverished" or filled with despair, we're never frightened of him. And we always look forward to his appearance the following week. (in Literature) |
