Michael Barbaro is best known as the host of ‘The Daily’ podcast at the New York Times. But long before that, he fell in love with the news as a paperboy delivering the New Haven Register with his sister. He details his winding path into audio with veteran producer and J-school audio instructor Ben Manilla in a live discussion about the The Daily’s success, its unique approach to narrative news, and taking chances throughout his career. Check out prior episodes of On Mic for more fascinating conversations with some of the world's best writers, journalists and documentarians.

 It was 40 years ago when Steve Martin released the concert album, “A Wild and Crazy Guy.”  These days Martin is known as an actor, a novelist, a playwright, an accomplished banjo player, a major art collector. But before all that, he was best known for wearing a stupid joke arrow on his head – or a pair of rabbit ears. He wears those rabbit ears, and a white suit, on the cover of “A Wild and Crazy Guy,” his second stand-up comedy album.  That record proved he had command of the full comic spectrum – high-concept surrealism, as well as broad comedy that simultaneously made fun of broad comedy.   Forty years ago this summer, it was the singing voice of Martin that was bellowing out of many car windows He had debuted the novelty song, “King Tut,” in a hilarious performance on Saturday Night Live that spring, and then it was released as a single and peaked at 12 on the Billboard charts in August.  And then that single was released on the comedy album,“A Wild and Crazy Guy.” The album went on to  win a Grammy, and hit Number 2 on the Billboard pop album chart.  If you’re a fan of vintage Saturday Night Live, you know the name of the album is the punchline to a sketch he performed there.

It all started out as a plan to steal some comic books, sell them and split the cash. That was before a busted lip, a heart attack, and federal prosecutors stepped in. Reporter Mary Lee Williams, a graduate of UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, tells the whole messy story of some people who got caught up in two different systems of laws, and two prosecutors who saw their crime from two very different perspectives, with long term consequences. Our story… Ten Hours to Twenty Years.Ten hours to Twenty Years was reported and produced by Marylee Williams. Tony Gannon senior produced this episode.

This week, I'm sharing an interview I did on Philosophy Talk. As explained on philosophytalk.org, Philosophy Talk is a weekly, one-hour radio series produced by Ben Manilla. The hosts' down-to-earth and no-nonsense approach brings the richness of philosophic thought to everyday subjects. Topics are lofty (Truth, Beauty, Justice), arresting (Terrorism, Intelligent Design, Suicide), and engaging (Baseball, Love, Happiness). This is not a lecture or a college course, it's philosophy in action! Philosophy Talk is a fun opportunity to explore issues of importance to your audience in a thoughtful, friendly fashion, where thinking is encouraged. Of course, the topic this week is procrastination. I had a lot of fun discussing a variety of issues with the hosts John Perry and Ken Taylor of Stanford University. I know you'll enjoy their show, and I encourage you to check out others in this weekly broadcast. To learn more about procrastination, see procrastination.ca or read The Procrastinator's Digest: A Concise Guide to Solving the Procrastination Puzzle.
