and his "Books" shows are really great. A guy named Mike Feder was a long time radio guy around NYC and he used to do a talk program that was excellent where he would mix it up between books and interviewing authors, interviewing musicians, reminiscing about how NYC was growing up, how the Beat/Folk scene was etc. Really nice guy and I had some nice correspondence with him over the years.
