Simon Winchester on Public Radio

Occasional travel writer and raconteur extraordinaire Simon Winchester is making the rounds to promote his new book, A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906. He is scheduled to appear today on two Los Angeles public radio shows that broadcast or podast online: Talk of the City at 89.3 FM at 2 p.m., and Politics of Culture on 89.9 FM at 2:30. Winchester is one of the most articulate and compelling storytellers around, and whether he is talking about travel, the Oxford English Dictionary or geology, he’s always a pleasure to listen to.
