To the Best of Our Knowledge Steve: We have a show coming up this weekend on the financial meltdown, but like many TTBOOK shows, it's really about lots of other stuff, too - including Margaret Atwood's quirky cultural & literary history of debt, an argument for "slow money" and a fascinating portrait of Ayn Rand. I thought I knew a fair amount about Rand, but this interview with Anne Heller was a real eye-opener....

Geraint has been featuring the Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks song in his act for some time. Saxophonist Renaud Pion is a friend of Van Dyke's so it seem only natural that he should play on the song even if he'd never heard it before. ...

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.
