  1. Congratulations on making t to episode 300. Something of a milestone for podcasting, and the quality is consistently good even if he subject matter isn’t always interesting—like episode 298, which had some good poetry, too.

    It appears that Mamet’s book isn’t available on the Kindle, which is disappointing.

    Ms Blakeslee’s (or your—can’t remember now) idea of having a each writer at Miam Book Fair contribue a sentence to a NaNoWriMo project sounds like fun. I wonder if a ‘madlib’ website like that could be set up?
