The Scrapbook

After yesterday's interview with Wole Soyinka, a listener wrote in to tell us about a website where you can read the full text of Soyinka's series of lectures on fear, upon which his book is based.

Today's discussion of American and British humor provoked quite a few listener responses as well, with some arguing that Americans don't get irony and others saying that there is terrible television on both sides of the Atlantic. Tonight's premiere of the American version of "The Office" on NBC will surely add more grist to the mill. On Television Without Pity, you can vote on which British show you would like to see imported to the U.S. next.
