Review of The Writers Studio, featuring Tracy Kidder
I like this format, an interview in front of an appreciative audience, especially if the interviewee feels comfortable doing it. Engaging author Tracy Kidder does and he brings laughs and chuckles to keep the interview material from becoming too heavy.
It's a good thing, because there are some heavy topics. I was caught by this piece and find myself wanting to read the next Tracy Kidder piece. I do wish the audio was a little clearer because I missed some parts. This is previously aired and clocks in at a perfect 59 minutes, so it's ready to go for any slot that is open. There isn't focus on one topic, other than this is all about Kidder, which is great. There is a lot devoted to a kind Harvard Doctor who travels to Haiti to provide medical care. If that is a topic that interests your listeners, that section would be a great focus. Otherwise, the interview in it's entirety is a fun listen and fans and first-timers alike will find the interview compelling.
