public radio, international.

It's The Sound of Young America. I'm Jesse Thorne.

My guest on the program is one of the great talk show hosts

of all time, Dick Cavett.

He won three Emmy awards for his shows both on ABC and on PBS.

In these days, he spends a fair amount of his time

as a blogger columnist for The New York Times.

Some of his favorite pieces written for the Times

have now been collected in Dick Cavett talk show.

And I learned in the book that I would be remiss

to introduce him without also mentioning

that he was State Pommelhorse champion

of the great state of Nebraska.

Absolutely.
