WGBH, one of Boston’s NPR affiliates (89.7 FM), is broadcasting two interviews in Jennie Attiyeh’s ThoughtCast series this Sunday, 10-11pm. Writes Jennie:

The first half hour is an interview with theHarvard political scientist Samuel Huntington, who authored “The Clash of Civilizations,” and the second is an interveiw with Megan Marshall,on her new biography of the three Peabody Sisters who helped found the Transcendentalist movement in the early to mid-19th century.

Meanwhile, over at PRX you can hear her interview with David Ferry who recently translated Virgil’s Georgics.

Oh, Jennie, when will you stop pandering to the mainstream?

But seriously, isn’t this just the sort of thing we all wanted the Net to do for us? That is, make room for everything from talking dogs to freelance intellectuals? Occasionally at the same time?
