NPR’s “On Point” with Tom Ashbrook is in town this week, and tomorrow, August 4, I’ll be joining them live in studio from 10 to 11 am Eastern to talk about the news and developments of the week. Hope you can take a listen. [Update, 16:07 ET: the audio of the program is online now.]
The second hour of the program will also come to you from Portland, Maine, featuring a conversation being recorded tonight at the University of Southern Maine about a big issue in this little-but-popular city, gentrification pressures.
I was previously a guest on the program a few years back, talking about the golden age pirates.
