Studio 360 Podcast and Video now online

The Studio 360 web site added the Time Travel episode to their page on 1/01/10 including the full audio of the show as well as several video clips including this one with Connie Willis and David Goldberg talking about time travel.

Studio 360 Report on tor.com

Ellen Wright attended the Studio 360 taping and reports on tor.com primarily about the time travel discussion with Connie Willis and science writer Dave Goldberg. Check out the article here.

Indications on the Studio 360 blog are that the show will be broadcast on NPR sometime around New Year's Eve and that it will also be made available online then.

Connie Willis on NPR's Radio 360 This week

Connie Willis will be in New York on Tuesday, Nov 17th, to take part in a live recording of NPR's Studio 360 at the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space. The show is sold out, but they supposedly will offer a live webcast on the website at 7 pm ET which will likely stay available. Once I have more details on when it will be broadcast on the radio and associated links for that, I will post them.

Their web site describes the show as:

On November 17, Studio 360 takes you where no audience has gone...

An Update From Connie

The novel is now really turned in, though there's still tons of work (and cutting) to be done on it, so I won't really feel like celebrating until that's done and the book's formally accepted and everything. I worked on the Obama campaign and I'm still deliriously happy about the election a week later and having a little trouble with withdrawal, though I am busily watching Sarah Palin's Victory Tour? which is helping some. Happy Thanksgiving! Connie Willis
