About Me

:: WWW.TOURISTINTHECITY.COM :: Tourist In The City's 2007 Season begins with the new sampler podcast "Spring" posted at the diminishing crest of Aries on April 20, seen by some as Akshaya Tritiya--Day of Lasting Achievements, the most auspicious day of the year to begin something new. And we do. The next podcast is set for posting on the Day of the Descent of All Angels, September 8. For *tOURIST iN tHE cITY* I explore the city with my binaural stereo microphone to find stuff that strikes my fancy: music, events, and the mundane stuff that allow the city to get through another day. NOW IN ITS THIRD YEAR. Full subscription at http://andy.libsyn.com/rss

Sounds Like: a podcast, because it is a podcast. sometimes you can hear the sound of birds from my Bronx window. sometimes you can hear the sound of the Hudson River or the subway or bus fumes or cellphone talkers or sidewalk commerce. Underneath you can always hear the sound of New York. * * * * * * * * * * 2007 podcast interviews released or in the Tourist edit studio: Adam Varga, Baratunde Thurston, "Maria the Korean Bride", Essie Jain, Hsia-Jung Chang, Kevin So and "Tigers and Monkeys."

We begin the 3rd year of Tourist with a sampler of some of the interviews I've conducted.  This little 13 minute episode took about 20 hours to edit - the same as every other Tourist In The City ...
