Unlike any travel show on public radio, LINER NOTES is a journey in itself. A not-to-be-missed celebration of wit, wisdom and wanderlust.

Recorded over lunch at the Captain's table aboard the legendary Queen Mary 2^®, destinations as they are and as they exist in literature, painting, film, music and myth are discovered in monthly, hour-long "Algonquin Roundtable" gatherings of notable and award-winning authors, artists, journalists and musicians. Each conversation will raise themes relating to travel, such as "Falling in Love with a Place", "The Benefits of Wandering," "Lost in Translation," or "Ex-Patriot Dreams."

Created by Jon Kalish and Marty Goldensohn, LINER NOTES is hosted by Paul Holdengräber, the cultural wunderkind whose literary happenings have turned the New York Public Library into a late-night hot spot, and whose public events at the Institute for Art and Cultures are renowned in Los Angeles.
