"A marvelous writer."
-Janelle Brown, Salon.com

"THIS AMERICAN LIFE": I didn't know this Ira Glass fellow when he phoned me in 1997 to interview me for an hour-length episode about the remarkable life of Harold Washington, which was the subject of my first book. After listening to "Harold," I now catch this equally remarkable show whenever I can.

MARKETPLACE: During my time as a staff writer at The Industry Standard, when people still cared about the Internet, I was a semi-regular on this public-radio show that focuses on money and business.

The Industry Standard, RIP.
