More on the show.
Jian is away to host Canada Reads until March 6th. Piya Chattopadhyay is in the host chair today and Thursday. Note that the show is 30 minutes shorter.
- Piya speaks with Scottish comedian Danny Bhoy about his latest one-man show, Dear Epson, and the art of a great complaint letter. The gifted grumbler explains how the price of ink cartridges partly inspired his new show, why a good complaint brings him closure, and why he actively tries not to get too famous -- even if it could give his gripes more traction.
- Piya speaks with Michael Lannan -- co-creator, co-writer and executive producer of Looking, HBO's new show about three gay friends in San Francisco. The series, which has just been renewed for a second season, has been praised for featuring gay characters who are not campy and outgoing -- but has also been accused of sanitizing gay life.
