Online Goings-On
Missed this spring’s J. Ryan Stradal’s reading? Oh no, you missed Jonathan Odell in June as well? No worries. The indomitable Magers and Quinn has launched a podcast called Magers and Quinn Presents so that their popular readings can live on, online. So far, they’ve got two episodes up, and plan to release a new episode each week. So, if you were one of the fans who couldn’t make it inside the jam-packed Chuck Klosterman reading two Mondays ago, you can look forward to hearing it on the podcast later this summer.
