Mark on radio today at 10am Pacific

Mark Frauenfelder 9:34 am Tue Mar 21, 2006

I'll be on a radio show called Your Call today at 10am to talk about Make and DIY. I'll be joined by my friend Shoshana Berger, editor of ReadyMade magazine.

It's on 91.7 KALW in Berkeley San Francisco. You can listen to the KALW stream here, and an archive will be available after the show here.

On the next Your Call, we're whipping out the tin snips and firing up the soldering iron. The DIY movement is back in force and isn't just punk rockers and suburban housewives. Every week a new magazine pops up on knitting, whittling or home repair. Are people actually doing any of this? Or is being handy as much a fantasy as other magazine standy-bys, like having rock hard abs? We asked you to try two projects, and we tried our hand at them ourselves. Join us as we talk to the editors of Make Magazine and Berkeley's-own Ready Made and on the next Your Call with Rebecca Roberts and you.
