To the Best of Our Knowledge Steve Paulson here - It's not often I get a real buzz from doing an interview, but I just got one. I've played tennis my whole life, so talking to Andrei Agassi was lots of fun. No, we didn't get into crystal meth - does anybody really care? - but I did hear plenty about his raging dad. And my kids - who normally don't care two figs about what we do on the radio - badgered me for autographs.

To the Best of Our Knowledge Just recorded a great interview for the Nov. 22nd show on magic: Persi Diaconis ran away from home at 14 to become a traveling magician. Magic got him interested in probability theory, which required him to learn calculus, and today he's a world reknowned mathematician whose work on card shuffling and coin tossing is helping decode DNA.

Producer's note: Hope you'll give a lesson to the DFW show this weekend.

And listening to the exclusive reading from "This is Water" takes away some o...f the bitterness left from his suicide and leaves a little sweetness in its place. Hope you enjoy.Read More
