The San Francisco Chronicle, one of the few newspapers right now offering podcasts (not even the L.A. Times can say this much), has made David Kipen’s interview with Gus Lee (from this year’s Books by the Bay) available. Of course, it’s only a mere excerpt. But it’s the closest thing to being there.

(The Crime Time panel is also available. And all this sure beats uncomfortable fangirl moments with Charo.)
