Passing Notes 

Reviews and interviews about books, music, film and whatever else comes along. New episodes weekly.

From the home office somewhere in suburban South Florida but reaching around the world, Passing Notes offers a weekly review of a book, album, or film -- usually featuring an interview with the creator. Written, produced, and hosted by Mark E. Hayes, a past member of the National Book Critics Circle and a current music programmer and critic-at-large for South Florida's only prime-time jazz station, 88.9 FM WDNA.
