Radio Reunion

One thing advance readers seem to like about Tracks is the balance of mood and character. One character innocent and lovable, another sleazy and loathable. One story light or funny, another heavy or sad.

Pull out your hankies. “Reunion” is one of the more melancholy ones.

An abridged reading of “Reunion” was recently featured on Baltimore’s NPR station, WYPR. Set to appropriately-themed music, the reading was broadcast on The Signal, a tour through Baltimore’s cultural landscape.

The podcast is available now. You can listen to the program at the following link. “Reunion” is about 40 minutes into the program.

WOMB Author on National Public Radio

Last month, WOMB author Eric D. Goodman read an excerpt from his novel in stories, Tracks, on WYPR’s The Signal.

But did you catch his NPR reading of “Futures” which aired on The Signal last fall? You may have caught it on the radio or online … if not, you can catch it right here. The future is now.

“Futures” is another abridged story from TRACKS. It follows a young woman struggling with the choice between a new career in Chicago or the home and people in Baltimore she’s known all her life.

NPR describes TRACKS as “a book that zooms into the interior lives of a group of strangers on a train from Baltimore to Chicago.”

Catch the train at WYPR’s website.
