My new book is still shipping to stores and has now been received by Amazon, but media campaigning, which has already commenced, is moving into a more intense period. I won’t list every show because this blog is mostly about issues and ideas rather than me (although, it is a little about that too), and more to the point, listing every show would bog down the blog, and the last thing I want to do is bore SHSers.
I will, however, try to let you know when national shows are scheduled. I have one today at 2 Pacific Time, Al Kresta in the Afternoon. It is nationally syndicated and may play at different times in your area.
And as a head’s up: I have seen an advance copy of a coming review written by someone who is really off the emotional rails (in my opinion) on animal issues. Needless to say, it ain’t pretty. More, when and if it actually appears.
Are we having fun yet?
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
