An amateur’s outlook on computation and mathematics

On the Air

by Brian Hayes

Published 25 May 2010

Tomorrow I’ll be doing a gig on “The State of Things,” broadcast by North Carolina Public Radio. The main subject of discussion will be Scott Huler’s new book On the Grid; I’ll be present as supporting cast (call me a bit player) and will doubtless find a way to plug my own book Infrastructure.

If you’re within listening range of a North Carolina Public Radio station, tune in between noon and 1 p.m. Later in the day the audio should be available online.
