The wonderful Madeleine Brand interviewed me about Michael Kimball Writes Your Life Story (on a postcard) for NPR's All Things Considered. It will air the week of July 20th, and I'm really happy that this project that I love is one of the things being considered. Many thanks, too, to Shereen Meraji, Erin Killian, and everybody who has told me their life story.

Michael,
It's so great to be recognized for your work. It is much deserved.
Best,

Thank you, Maggie. I always know I've written a good one when you comment.
And thank you, Timothy. I know you understand what it's like.
I'll be listening next week. Congratulations!
All the best,
Ken
p.s. Thank you for your description of a runner's high! That was a perfect answer; just what I was looking for.
great news!
Thanks, Ken and Lizzie. And, Ken, I'm glad that description helped.
I can't wait to gingerly place my cheek on my radio speaker and nuzzle the volume knob with my nose.
Ok. Not really.
You rock.
I heard the interview today and was reminded of Orson Scott Card's "Speaker for the Dead." In the far future, any human colonist can request a speaker from the home world to come, investigate the deceased, and then speak that person's life, good and bad, at a public ceremony. The concept's stayed with me for years, it's so compelling. Who wouldn't want that? I think you're onto something.
