Episode 4 | "Sand Still in My Shoes" | |
On Labor Day, 2008, LINER NOTES captures the mood of the country. It speaks to the tens of millions who reluctantly let go of their summer selves and get ready for the regular rhythms of work, school, home. Labor Day is when the balance tilts. When the summer, which has restored us, turns its back. It is for each of us, our own personal equinox. It is still warm but summer is no longer. There is no sand in sight, but it is still in our shoes.  | Host: Guests: |
Episode 5 | "Costume Party" | |
Halloween is not just kids and candy. It is about masks and identity, horror as well as grown-up fun. On "Costume Party", a special All Hallows Eve edition of Liner Notes, host Paul Holdengräber and his lively Algonquin round table of guests discuss the nature of horror in literature and film, and explore why putting on a mask is so appealing. Paul takes listeners to Mexico, led by Maraleen Manon-Jones, to experience the Day of the Dead, which is not about death but is a celebration of life.  | Guests: Clive Barker Peter Straub Hampton Fancher Wendy Doniger Ellen Datlow Maraleen Manus-Jones Jan Albert |
Episode 6 | Talking Turkey | |
The roundtable explores: heritage turkeys; why pumpkin pies; why we eat too much; celebrating Thanksgiving in Paris; forty years of food phases and fads in Americans, and favorite cookbooks. Host Paul Holdengräber and his guests tell how and where they celebrate Thanksgiving, what they cook, with whom they dine, how the literature they love captures the essence of food, family and other things for which they are grateful.  | Host: Paul Holdengräber Guests: |
