The Week That Is

Dylan Ratigan

I'm writing my first feature since returning to Philadelphia Magazine on a full-time basis and continuing to promote Fringe-ology. So I'm a bit busy. Yesterday was a big day. I made an appearance on the Dylan Ratigan show.

Ratigan is MSNBC's outspoken moderate, and no, that's not an oxymoron when it comes to him. He is a Seinfeld-styled loud talker with what I think is a really refreshing way of approaching politics and government as problem-solving exercises. Of course, he's sort of alone in this because most commentators and of course most politicians themselves look at public life as the means to advance their party's ideology.

Not surprisingly, then, he really seemed to get the premise of the book and in five minutes we covered a lot of ground—from the paranormal to politics. You can see the whole interview here.
