My Monday Schedule: Ronn Owens Show; Books Inc.

I've got a busy day tomorrow in the Bay Area. So busy, unfortunately, that I probably won't have any time to track Hurricane Flo, which could be our most damaging storm of the year. I also doubt I'll be watching the perhaps-soon-to-be Tropical Storm Gordon, or keeping an eye on ShanShan in the Pacific.

Instead, I'll be shouting my barbaric "war on science" yawp from the rooftops. First, I'll be appearing at 10 AM PST, for an hour, on the Ronn Owens Show on KGO-AM 810. I believe this is the top rated talk show in the Bay area, and I'm honored to have been invited back on the air. You should be able to listen live from here; remember, 10 AM PST is 1:00 PM EST.

Meanwhile, for more about the legendary talk show host Ronn Owens, see here. His Wikipedia entry says this: "Ronn competes directly against Rush Limbaugh, and is the only talk show host in the country who consistently beats Limbaugh in the ratings."

After that, I'll be dropping by bookstores in the Bay Area all day to sign stock copies of the new paperback. So far, signing these books has been a weird and disorienting experience--the hardcovers are much easier to write in, for obvious reasons I guess. And then, in the evening I'll be speaking at a great independent bookstore south of San Fran:

7:30 PM-9:00 PM

Books Inc.

301 Castro Street

Mountain View, CA

Because my new speech about what I've learned in the last year, and about solutions, went over so well in San Diego on Thursday, I'll be giving some version of it again. We'll see if this one continues to be a winner....

Wow. Thanks for a great show. I thought you handled all the quesetions with grace and eloquence. And Ronn Owens surely was a great ally! I'm glad you mentioned it so I could listen.

I am listing to theis interview and it is far more informative then the previous two. I am very impressed with Mr. Owen in that he asks questions and allows the guess to answer them, rather then using the guest as a sounding board. Obviously, he is not a man in love with the sound of his own voice, unlike Karel.
