Tim and Paul

If you aren't oversaturated with hearing about Tim Russert, this might interest you. My pal Paul Harris, who chats with interesting people on the radio all the time, chatted many a time with Mr. Russert. On his website, Paul has put up this audio file of one such conversation. It's a good little discussion about Russert's book, his face-offs with controversial public figures and even his appearance as a contestant on Jeopardy!

Paul was on radio in St. Louis for many years, then lost his gig when the broadcasting company did a big economy move. He's lately been bouncing around the country doing a week here, a week there. I'm sure he'll land somewhere soon with a permanent slot — or at least, as permanent as anything can be in radio. I just hope it's on a station I can listen to over the Internet.
