It appears Bat Segundo is no more. This is really tragic, since the Bat Segundo show was one of very few places (I can probably count them on the fingers of one hand) where you could find in-depth interviews with authors, and Ed did a very good job over the last four years of covering a lot of different stuff.

I just got off the phone with Ed and he was complaining about the state of entertainment/arts reviews, where the economic downturn has hit especially hard and freelancers are running for the hills. I find this all very dismaying.
