In Case Of Emergency, Read Blog

A brief detour from the usual topics this weekend to mention that NPR’s On The Media is replaying a story I did a couple years ago about my attempt to train for a career in television punditry. Among those who tried to help along the way are Nipsey Russell, Joe Nocera, Paul Begala, as well as “the Jedi Master to television pundits”. You can be the judge on whether it worked — though the fact that I haven’t appeared on a television talk show guest since may give you a hint.
