ellenkushnerNormally, I try not to speak to anyone before 10 in the morning. Anyone. (11 is better.) But for Jim Freund (and eternal glory), I'm going on "Hour of the Wolf" live at 5 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday) morning on New York's celebrated indie station, WBAI. From 6-7 a.m. I'll even talk to you: for my sins, it's a call-in show. We'll spend lots of time on the new novel, The Privilege of the Sword, and on the Riverside series in general in the second hour, easing into things slowly at 5 with some music from Thomas the Rhymer first.
Not in NYC? No problem! Jim sez:
As always, the program will be broadcast live to the NY metropolitan area over listener-sponsored WBAI, 99.5 FM, and streamed over the Internet at http://stream.wbai.org/ August 19, this Saturday morning (that's Friday night), from 5 till 7 AM. After broadcast, the show will be available as a stream from WBAI archives
(where, I might add, you can listen to shows featuring other illustrious past HoW guests).

Well! That was quite something. Had a good time with Jim, playing "Thomas the Rhymer" recordings (including the best one I've ever heard, from - of course - Ewan MacColl), reading from the novels and talking to folks who called in - including mad dog![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mnemex, who actually called from the plane on his way to Worldcon - we could hear the attendants saying, "Ladies & Gentlemen, we are cleared for takeoff..." in the background - and so will you if you follow Cat's advice (see below) on downloading the show as an MP3 file... The weird thing was going in there in the pitch darkness at 4:45, and emerging at 7 to discover the clear light of day streaming in (through an astonishing plate glass window with a glorious view of the EAst River! Who knew 'BAI had such terrific real estate?) - somehow I'd imagined everyone listening in darkness, too. Well, as I said above, 6-7 am not my usual stomping grounds. And so to bed.
