The Bat Comes Back. Again.

Ed Champion and Bat Segundo have released another quartet of interviews in podcast form on the Bat Segundo show. Here’s the 411:

These shows include a conversation with Charles Burns, the man behind Black Hole, a discussion with writer-director Eran Kolirin about his film The Band’s Visit in which Kolirin discusses the importance of static shots, a talk about topographical narrative with Ellington Boulevard author Adam Langer. We also learn why Charles Bock took eleven years to write his novel, Beautiful Children.

And since Champion seems forever to be pointing out that ownership -- or even stewardship -- of an iPod is not required to enjoy the interviews, it seems worth mentioning it here, as well. “If you go to the main Segundo site,” says Champion, “you can save the MP3 to your lovely machine by clicking on the bat picture or, if you’re the kind of person who prefers swinging a bat over clicking on one, we do have a user-friendly interface with many listening and streaming options below the capsules.”

So there you go. The Bat Segundo Show can be found here and you can click, swing or bat, as required or desired.
