So what was Bob Edwards like? Tell us about the interview!

You know as much as I do, if you heard it! The program has an
arrangement with NPR, evidently, for I drove over to the public
broadcasting station forty miles away and was given a studio with a
very impressive mike (okay: mic) and a desk with a bottle of water on
it. At the appointed moment an assistant came on and asked me what I'd
had for breakfast. That was an easy question: the local NPR guys had
already asked it. Evidently it's the standard way to get a microphone
check.

The interview was about an hour. I think the broadcast was about half
that. I distinctly remember saying at one point: Well, I blew that
one. Ask me another. It was edited out, of course, but other than that
I didn't notice any editing, but I'm sure there was some.

I bought the download from audible.com -- thanks to whoever it was who
provided the link.
