The Leonard Lopate Show sits down with David Sedaris, whose his latest collection of short stories is Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk (Little, Brown, ISBN 978-0316038393). Sedaris’s appearance on the public radio show marks a return to his roots: the writer’s big break involved a reading from his book SantaLand Diaries--which was produced by Ira Glass, who went on to create This American Life.

Deanna Favre and Shane Stanford, authors of The Cure for the Chronic Life (Abingdon Press, ISBN 978-1426710018), are on Good Morning America and Fox & Friends.

The Early Show interviews Jenny Sanford, whose Staying True is just out in paperback from Ballantine (ISBN 978-0345522566).

Tony Hawk is on The Today Show talking about his new book, How Did I Get Here: The Ascent of an Unlikely CEO (Wiley, ISBN 9780470631492).

Due to the nature of live programming, scheduling is subject to change.
