The marvelous Scott Westerfeld, whose books I kept trying to sneak into a recent Newsday shoot, was interviewed with me by Ana Marie Cox on Rachel Maddow’s Air America radio show. In the course of a lively conversation, we had a big, big fight over whether or not boys’ reading airplane manuals is reading, mainly because I do not care what boys do, and men get away with everything. For this cause, I fly a flag. But Scott is wonderful as is his wife Justine, and you should buy all their books.

You can decide for yourself if the fact that I would have been shit out of luck had Scott not put up directions to how to listen to the show means he wins or I win. BUT: Here’s how you listen (remember radio? I do):

a) Search the iTunes Store for “Maddow 960.”
b) Click on the green Rachel Maddow icon.
c) Select the 06/30/09 episode.
d) Listen and be amazed (or at least amused).
