Review of The Writers Studio, featuring T.C. Boyle
Nothing beats hearing TC Boyle reading his work and talking about it. His respect for readers and literature keeps the conversation particularly interesting and elevated --his humor and accessibility keep it dynamic and energetic. In the process of discussing literature, the art of writing and the joy of reading, Boyle stumbles on religion, science, human behavior and the human condition. This interview is intellectually stimulating, entertaining and enduring--you'll be thinking about what he's said long after this interview has ended. This is ideal for evening or weekend broadcasting. Wherever you have an hour to spare consider broadcasting this.
