The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC features Kenneth T. Jackson, editor of The Encyclopedia of New York City: Second Edition (Yale Univ., ISBN 978-0300114652). The revised edition addresses changes since the volume first was published in 1995, among them: the World Trade Center no longer dominates the skyline, a billionaire businessman has become an unlikely three-term mayor, and urban regeneration—Chelsea Piers, the High Line, DUMBO, Williamsburg, the South Bronx, the Lower East Side—has become commonplace.
Liz Murray, author of Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard (Hyperion, ISBN 978-0786868919); and Mona Simpson, author of My Hollywood (Knopf, ISBN 978-0307273529), are on the Leonard Lopate Show.
The Daily Show interviews Gordon Brown, author of Beyond the Crash (Free Press, ISBN 978-1451624052).
Stephen Sondheim, author of Finishing the Hat (Knopf, ISBN 978-0679439073), is on The Colbert Report.
