Norman Corwin was interviewed for last week’s Weekend America, a show produced by American Public Media for the public radio market. Now I have to be honest with you, I’m not a great fan of this program - I find it simplistic and overly-cutesy…the closest comparason would be a lobotomized All Things Considered which drools on itself while presenting stories. I find Barbara Bogaev to be a lightweight interviewer, and Bill Radke nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is, although I did enjoy his KUOW program Rewind before he left to be a part of this mishmash.

All that said, though, hearing Norman Corwin is worth downloading Hour 2 from the podcast page (scroll down to the “Download” section) and fast-forwarding to 13:57 or so. (I wonder, listening to Corwin’s last comment, if he agrees with me about Ms. Bogaev…na, he’s far too much the gentleman to be so ignoble.)
