Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    
<ari> suggested in books that we get Jeff Sharlet here to discuss
"The Undertow". I happen to follow him on Twitter (fellow VTer) and
have had a couple of interactions with him.

I'm happy with being a go-between if hosts here are interested.
  

    
Not a host, but that sounds like a great idea.  I'd be happy to read
the book and participate.
  

    
Please do!
  

    
Yes, please!
  

    
Not a host, either, but clearly also interested.
  

    
(Every time I see that title, I think of the Undertoad from "The World
According to Garp.")
  

    
And I hear Firesign Theater singing, "Toad Away".
  

    

Ink-stained wretches, please step away from your keyboards and pens and 
welcome new Inkwell.vue co-host, long time Well member Emily Gertz <emilyg>. 

An accomplished journalist, author, and editor, her work covers a wide range 
of environmental, climate, energy, technology, business and science topics. 
She joins continuing hosts David Gans <tnf> and Jon Lebkowsky <jonl>.

Oh dear, I didn't realize confteam was going to announce it so soon.

So, belatedly: Thank you! I'm looking forward to being part of the
inkwell.vue power team of Jon and Gans.
  

    
Maybe now I'll finally get my name above the line for SOTW '24, eh
Jon? '-)

I just enjoyed the Great Animal Orchestra exhibit at the
Exploratorium by Bernie Krause of Wild Sanctuary.

I expect he’d be a wonderful Inkwell.vue interviewee.  A TED Talk
and interviews are online with NPR, KQED Forum, etc…. to give
examples of previous interviews.
  

    
What were your impressions of the Great Animal Orchestra, Sean?
