This week on The Marketplace of Ideas, Colin Marshall talks to Edward Champion, who’s not only a book critic but the man behind two popular internet culture ventures, the blog Reluctant Habits and the interview podcast The Bat Segundo Show. An early adopter of podcasting technology, Champion has been conversing a sprawling variety of cultural figures since 2004, including the authors John Updike, William Vollmann and Bret Easton Ellis, filmmakers such as David Lynch and Atom Egoyan as well as guests from other spheres entirely, such as former United States Senator Mike Gravel.

Have you ever noticed how corporate radio stations like to appeal to commuters by purchasing large advertisements on the sides or backs of local buses? Perhaps you’ve seen these campaigns when you’re at a light, or stuck in traffic. Obviously, the goal is to get you to tune in while you’re driving.
Well KCSB decided to try a new twist on this old approach: starting in March, the station purchased ad-space inside of 78 buses run by Santa Barbara’s Metropolitan Transit District (MTD). Our 11×17″ full-color glossy placard (see above) was designed by the 2008-2009 KCSB Publications Director, Mallory Watje. The initial display period started in March and runs through July, with the possibility of extending things on into the future. The station hopes to appeal to commuters using Santa Barbara’s primary mode of alternative transportation to consider becoming listeners, volunteers, or prospective programmers.
