Thursday I’ll be on WBUR’s On Point from 11 a.m.-noon EST. It’s shaping up to be a wild show, with guests all across the spectrum of Christian music and thought, and I’m pleased to be a part of it. You can listen live or catch the podcast later. And if you live near one of the stations that carries On Point, you can tune in the old-fashioned way.

If you understand podcasting (I don’t, and never will, so don’t even bother trying to explain it to me), the podcast of the WNYC show on which I was interviewed today is here.

Big shoutout to my homeboy Rob Christiansen, who waters the plants in the WNYC studios when no one’s looking.

Melanie Haupt reviews my book in Friday’s edition.

Body Piercing Saved My Life officially came out yesterday (yes, I realize it’s been in stores for much longer, but apparently this is how the publishing industry works), and I have a bunch of stuff happening in the next few days. It’s all subject to change the farther we get from today, but here’s what we’re looking at:

• Saturday, June 3, at 8 p.m., I’ll be on John Kasich’s Heartland show on Fox News
• Monday, June 5, at 2 p.m., I’ll be on WNYC’s Soundcheck program, the chief engineer of which is none other than Rob Christiansen
• Thursday, June 8, at 11 a.m. I’ll be on NPR’s On Point. The latter may be fun because I think you can call in and try to rattle me.

A conversation between Lisa Carver and me, followed by some wacky comments.

Toronto Eye Weekly contributor Brian Joseph Davis insightfully dismisses all of Christian music in this 125-word précis of my book.

You think you rock? You have nothing on kids who can stage-dive assured with the knowledge that they’re going to heaven, where the music will be really shitty for all eternity and that’s apparently OK.

Our Entertainment Weekly subscription didn’t seem to navigate our move to Northern Virginia, so until today I had only anecdotal evidence of this cute little chart in the current issue (which in the paper copy shows my book cover).

Tonight at 5 p.m. EST I’ll be a guest on Paul Edwards’ show on WLQV AM 1500 in Detroit. If you’re outside that area and want to hear the interview, you can listen to the show on the Internet.

UPDATE The audio from the show is available here.

Fluxblog’s Matthew Perpetua and I chatted about the book yesterday; his interview is now up, and nicely turned out, if I do say so myself.

Tomorrow’s Washington City Paper will feature an excerpt of Chapter 9, accompanied by some sharp photos by Darrow Montgomery, as its cover story. Papers will be on stands tomorrow; the story will be online Friday.
