Fresh Air

I was listening to podcast of Terry Gross' Fresh Air yesterday, and there's a great bit in her interview with author and editor Charles Ardai. Ardai's home grown publishing company has singlehandedly resurrected the pulp crime fiction genre. In this interview, he spends a good deal of time talking about the process of collaborating with painters to get a good retro-pulp cover. Also, this month marks the passing of photographer William Claxton, known especially for his photos of Jazz greats. You can hear his Fresh Air interview from 1988 here.
