This morning, The Diane Rehm Show chatted with Tom Stanton, author of Ty and The Babe: Baseball's Fiercest Rivals; A Surprising Friendship and the 1941 Has-Beens Golf Championship (Thomas Dunne, $23.95), which PW’s starred review deemed “as splendid as a sunny spring day at the ballpark. Stanton's writing is seamless, exploring the lives of both men but never lapsing into tedious detail.”
Rachael Ray’s guest was famed Savannah restaurateur Paula Deen, whose latest is Paula Deen: It Ain't All About the Cookin' (S&S, $25; S&S Audio abridged CD, $29.95). In its review of the audiobook, PW promised “Deen's legions of fans will find themselves enthralled by the spunky, confessional tone and undeniable down-home charm of her audio performance. She addresses her listeners as ya'll with a grace and sincerity capable of winning hearts on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.”
Tavis Smiley marks the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina this week, tonight talking with environmentalist and award-winning travel journalist Mike Tidwell, author of The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America's Coastal Cities (Free Press, $14), recently out in paperback.
