Wisconsin Public Radio’s Wisconsin Life is running an excerpt I read from the new book (due out 8/21/2012) in which I describe my neighbor’s workshop. Opening line: “Imagine an antique store stocked by Rube Goldberg, curated by Hunter Thompson and rearranged by a small earthquake…”

Audio Excerpt From Next Book
I just read part of my next book (It’s called Visiting Tom, and it’s due out in August) for Wisconsin Life, and you can have a listen by clicking here.
The piece is about the power of kitchens…but it’s not about food or cooking.
The music at the end is by my band the Long Beds (it’s a song from Tiny Pilot), in particular the red hot fiddle is by Molly Otis.
Whad’Ya Know? Links
Someone asked for links to my appearances on Whad’Ya Know? I’m pressed for time but I think the Coop show is here and show with the Long Beds is here.
My first ever appearance on the show here. (I’ll never forget how Michael Feldman put me at my ease by recognizing my reference to dead emus).
And here’s the one where I talk about the kidney stone.
Philcast Interview Available Online
If you missed Mike’s interview on the Philcast yesterday, it’s available as a podcast here (direct link to file here).
Mike Interview Online
The interview I did with Time At The Table is up over here. Enjoyed that. I was riding (not driving!) in a car at the time, the Wisconsin countryside sliding by…
Encore Interview on WUWM
In advance of our trip to that side of the state, WUWM has re-aired an interview I did with Mitch Teich on Lake Effect awhile back. You can listen here.
The Sound of Chickens
The sound of me visiting our chickens, as produced by Todd Witter of Wisconsin Life. Direct link to audio here.
Deer Skinner
Been working on venison sausage. Right before deer season, Wisconsin Public Radio’s Morning Edition ran a brief “Wisconsin Life” segment in which I described my deer skinner. You can listen here.
Double Dads, Beer Tents, Hair Fires, and Male Nurses
Sneezing Cow Podcast, Episode #1: Mike and Al discuss yodeling, spit cups, and fatherhood, and Mike reads an essay about fatherhood. LIVE AUDIENCE CLIP: Mike tells the beer tent story (and the hair loss story, and the nursing degree story).
NOTE: This is our first podcast…there’ll be a learning curve (for example, in future episodes with Al, I shall strive to be less giggly). Please note the download link below if you prefer to listen on another device.
Writing and Sirens
Greg Friese of Medical Author Chat called me up the other night and we chatted about firefighting, emergency medical services, and writing. He recorded the conversation and it is now posted as a podcast here. I realized about half-way through the interview that I was babbling like a teenaged cheerleader after six cherry Cokes, but in my defense we were discussing things I cherish. Serving beside my neighbors as an EMT/First Responder/Firefighter has been a sustained privilege.
I don’t know Greg well, but I trust he is a good guy because he was very patient with me in scheduling the interview (it took a while to get everything to line up) and one night when I cancelled he said it was OK because the weather was so nice he wanted to take his son for a bike ride. There y’go.
