the link is here:
http://www.whyy.org/91FM/radiotimes.html
you can stream it via real audio, itunes or windows media player or you can download it onto itunes (also downloadable for free) for later listening again and again.
you can also call in and harass me.
i'll be talking about the relationship between artist and audience with marty and philadelphia critic cooper robb.
essentially gassing on.
listen to me make a fool of myself for a WHOLE HOUR!
one can only hope that the 7-second delay will be in effect and that michael powell will be in crawford with the rest of the crew...
enjoy.

Summer Wind
hello, friends,
well, the summer is certainly winding down here in volanskyland. despite the fact that i've been essentially off since may 21, i still feel as though i need a bit more vacation before we call it a summer.
let us recap, shall we?
terrific fun was had by all during summer advising at washington college in the middle of june -- lots of nervous freshman, born (sit down, please) in 1988. take a brief moment to think about the fact that this year's incoming class of freshman was born in 1988 and then bang your head against the wall. just flash back to ANY image you might have had from 1988 and you'll know what i am talking about. in the next couple of weeks, check out this link: http://www.beloit.edu/~pubaff/mindset/ for a bit more information about these kids.
there was the dixelman lovefest in minneapolis -- may longevity and the gifts that were given be a part of every day of your wedded lives.
playpenn brought a slew of new friends and new plays -- let's give a shout out to mister paul and mister fran for helping us all get through it. and, again, for those of you who know and love lucy and aashlesha, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
ATHE was the subject of the last post, but remember how much we love those chicago gals. to the guys, well, sorry that i missed you, but girltime was certainly needed by one and all. and miz laura, gosh, i miss you. sometime soon on the east coast, okey-dokey.
then there was the AWESOME vacation with mister chris to treasure lake in the untapped alleghany mountains. i think surviving a vacation together certainly gives us some props, huh? and a special shout-out to the kings who came up to join us. how much do we LOVE eating pie for breakfast?
in between all of this was quality time with bethie, the boys, the brit and his cute girl, jess and the pattis. i do wish that there was some more d.p. time, but there is still a breath of summer left.
and last night's adventure with theresa, jo, sheila, linda and billy was a FEAST of fun. if you've not been to a melting pot, save up your pennies and go to one. here' s a link: http://www.meltingpot.com/index.htm. and make sure you use the mouthwash.
finally, to those of you in chestertownvilleburgheights-upon-avon, lock up your children. i'll be back soon.
enjoy.

This Just In...
hello, friends,
mel gibson has just started launching weapons at israel.
sorry. that wasn't funny, but i just had to weigh in there...
i'm sitting in the palmer house hilton in beautiful downtown chicago, having spent the last several days at the ATHE (association of theatre in higher education) conference (see www.athe.org) for more details. i've also had the great fortune to have seen a LOVELY production of bruce norris' new play, THE UNMENTIONABLES, directed by anna d. shapiro and featuring the always-luminous amy morton, along with shannon cochran and rick snyder. great work.
in addition, i've been on a sort of "culinary reunion" here in chicago. yesterday, it was all about the potbelly sandwich (www.potbelly.com). that poser chain known as quizno's has NOTHING on a vegetarian potbelly sandwich, though miz liz swears by the PB & J. and then there was dinner with the divine jessica, a VERY pregnant mrs. lance baker and a glowing leason at none other than kamehache, the BEST sushi this side of sapporo. we were later transported to hipster central, known as the landmark, where anna d. is apparently a regular fixture. the fun didn't end until about 2, when miz liz and i shared some iced amarettos.
the conference has been good, as i get to spend some quality time with treasured dramaturgical friends. and, since it is chicago, i've had the good fortune to see some of my old peeps. i am feeling a little homesick for the girl, but i am THRILLED that al gore has started reigning in that global warming business.
i have been reading thomas e. ricks' book FIASCO, which is subtitled THE AMERICAN ADVENTURE IN IRAQ. i'm still early on, but i am perhaps most stuck on the notion that, in a meeting on postwar iraq, a powerpoint presentation was given that consisted of only 32 badly written slides. 'nuff said, right?
stay strong.
