A Slice of Life
Since the day Gennaro Lombardi made the fortuitous decision to flatten day-old bread and add chesse and sauce, pizza has been a New York staple. New York pizza is a breed apart, different from New Haven and Chicago varieties, and from its Neopolitan buffalo milk ancestor. Also on the show, while Bruce Sterling is primarily known for his science fiction, the line between fiction and real life isn't always so clear. But one of his predictions for the next half century is quite down-to-earth: we won't be cloning ourselves. We also discuss the poindextering of Poindexter, and of course all of the sunday talk shows.
