I am NPR’d

Last week NPR ran a piece on the Hachette-Amazon controversy, and I was one of the authors interviewed.  The interview ran for about an hour, but the piece as aired cut my contribution down to three sentences.  (This is two sentences longer than my usual quote on national media.)

I was told that I’d be informed when the piece ran, but somehow the news went astray.  Which is also typical.

If you’ve got four minutes to spare, I’d suggest listening to the actual audio rather than reading the summary.  Not simply because you’ll be stirred to your soul by the sound of my manly voice, but because the audio piece is longer and features more interviews.
