JSB on NPR

I am stuck in Paris on vacation (I know, things could be worse!), but my co-author and collaborator, John Seely Brown, is going to be interviewed by Neal Conan on "Talk of the Nation" on NPR this Wednesday Thursday, August 24th 25th (sorry, in my enthusiasm about this, in my original posting I had this listed as occurring one day earlier – the show will be broadcast live on Thursday, August 25th – blame it on excess absinthe consumption). "Talk of the Nation" is doing a special series on China and JSB will be interviewed on some of the key themes covered in our book, The Only Sustainable Edge, regarding the extraordinary innovation emerging in China. I expect that JSB will be as controversial as ever, stirring up more than a few hornets nests with some provocative views on what is going on in China.

The interview is scheduled to air live at 2 PM EDT, but to check for specific NPR affiliated radio stations that will broadcast the interview, check out this link. Also, this is a call in show, so if you want to engage with JSB on this topic, you can call in to "Talk of the Nation" during the live broadcast by dialing 800-989-8255 or pose questions via e-mail at TOTN@npr.org.
