You can listen online to poet Lewis MacAdams read his brilliant L.A. vignettes. The latest is here http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=87802430
He's recently recorded a bunch of new pieces which will be airing in the coming weeks so check it out, tune in, & be stoked.
NPR's Day to Day, "produced at NPR West studios in Culver City, California, has nearly two million listeners on 200 stations around the country"--listen in & catch Lewis, he's fucking great, an ace.
