What the heck is The Bat Segundo Show? I must have registered, for I receive a semi-regular email telling me about it. Until now, I’ve binned the emails as products of another of my misguided online expressions of interest, but I read the latest one, and it’s got some potentially fascinating interviews: filmmaker Michael Haneke, authors of books about chocolate and Louis Armstrong, and – the one I’ve downloaded to listen to – journo Ken Auletta (Googled: The End of the World As We Know It), in what is promised to be a ‘hard-hitting colloquy’.
Two minutes of research turns up that this website has author interviews by New York critic and writer Edward Champion. The website is wonderfully piss-taking (‘a cultural podcast in tenebrous standing’) . . . let’s see how good my chosen interview is.
