Description:
|
Seldes speaks about "special interest stations." He particularly speaks about how stations should deal with the intermission period from a live concert: should they stay silent or provide a commentary? The station in question is WGBH, and Seldes reads a statement from the programming director, who believes that the silence will bring audiences back more than "yacking." ~ He goes on to speak about how he thinks someone should write a Ph.D about "smutty" or "blue" stories. Then talks about a professor who claimed anyone who whistled was a moron. ~ Seldes speaks about Quincy Howe's "The World Between The Wars," which, in Seldes view, balances the story of the U.S. and Europe with the stories of Asia, India, and Africa. ~ He goes on to talk about how political cartoons no longer appear in The New Yorker, but speaks positively of "The Talk of the Town" column. ~ Seldes moves on to Toulouse-Lautrec, who is "very hot right now."
