Weekdays at 12:30 p.m. CST from now until February 12, Jim Fleming will be reading Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Chapter A Day.” Jim has a wonderful reading voice (I have learned he is a favorite of rural mail carriers) and you can listen to a live stream of the reading right here.

Here’s the television interview I did yesterday. (Note it’s in two parts.)
Somebody’s rockin’ a farmer tan:
Whatever did happen to that Justin Vernon fellow?
It was so windy outside that the poor reporter who came to write this story wound up having to interview me inside the granary. We each sat on a piece of firewood. She was not the sort of person to complain. The photographs are fun. Don’t let the smile fool ya, I don’t much care for them two roosters. Anyways, here’s the link.
Footage of my morning TV interview at KATU in Portland, Oregon can now be viewed here. Farmer friends, please note I keep trying to wedge in the fact that I am not a real farmer. Added bonus: Enjoy watching the author scramble for ways to explain that he was bitten on the butt by a coonhound in terms that won’t get him hustled out the back door.
Did this on four hours sleep, nearly curled up on the overstuffed chair for a nap. Been on the road 13 of the last 14 days, I note I am getting to where I need a haircut. Will need to locate the proper high-tone salon.
They ran some clips while I was talking. The complete chicken coop video is here, and the complete dryer episode is here.
Talked on the telephone with former ‘Sconnie resident Megan Zabel recently. You can read the exchange here. Honest, I didn’t set that pager off myself.
WQOW Interview
This is the uncut version.
I wasn’t going to post this for a while (the new book isn’t coming out for over a month yet) (although you can pre-order it here), but HarperCollins is going to add it to their site today, so here goes. I got up early in the morning a while back, sat in a studio, and talked about the new book. As you can see, I remain bald(ing), my ears continue to expand, and my eyebrow(s?) is healthy. At some point I do open my eyes.
The new book won’t be released until April 21 is out now, but here’s a look at the cover (click to enlarge):
Photo taken by my friends John and Julie.
And for your meta-pleasure, here’s a photo of the photo shoot.
