A New Player

For many years, I used a web-based audio player from Google to let visitors hear our podcast appearances from this blog. Yesterday, I noticed Google's player was not appearing, so I've switched to Yahoo! WebPlayer, which plays audio and video files.

Use it to listen to The Lineup's appearances on Seth Harwood's CrimeWAV, related podcasts, or watch video of The Lineup's 2011 Cornelia Street Cafe reading.

The Cell Theatre Reading Recap

I'm just back from the very sociable and successful reading at The Cell Theatre. It was great to meet organizers Seamus Scanlon and Karen Heuler and catch up with S.J. Rozan, Jason Starr, Keith Snyder, and Harold Schechter—one of my graduate professors at Queens College.

My thanks to Seamus, Karen, Mobile Libris, everyone at The Cell, and Lineup 2 contributor Deshant Paul, who recorded my portion of the reading.
