Radio  
  This American Life, my favorite weekly radio show.Old episodes are archived for listening if you have RealAudio. thislife.org
 

Joe frank.You have to hear it to believe it. Intense, noir-ish, at times hysterically funny, profoundly insightful, or just plain weird. Eye in the Sky is a good place to start. Here's what he has to say for himself:

When endowed with profound religious feeling, your skin becomes transparent and your blood begins to turn a thin watery hue until the light of the sun streaming in the window passes entirely through you. At last, having evolved into pure spiritual energy, nothing remains of your existence but a small pile of dirty underwear, damp socks, rumpled garments, a driver's license, credit cards and perhaps a small nail clipper.

This is what happens when you achieve oneness with the air, with the sky, with the whole world and everything in it. No longer tormented by nagging questions such as the conundrum of imploding ethical systems as expressed in post-war German soup recipes, you feel a sense of ecstatic exhilaration. It is this condition of bliss that Joe Frank: Somewhere Out There will attempt to elicit in its listeners.

Illustrators

 

  John Hersey. Here's one of my favorite pages from his portfolio, with links to his home page, which changes pretty often, as he evolves. hersey.com
  J.Otto Seibold, illustrator and creator, with his wife, of wonderful children's books. Check out bubblesoap! jotto.com
Web Stuff  
  Andy Fouldes Just absolutely the best use of Flash I've seen thusfar. Fun, technically amazing, but when he does commercial work he uses great restraint, so the animation supports the message instead of being an end in itself.
  Jeffrey Zeldman Funny, profound, thoughtful insight on what the web is and where it's going, by one of the movers and shakers and shapers of the web. Also a great writer. Check out the feature called My Glamorous Life for some wonderful writing. I visit often to see what he's been up to.
 

Textism The ongoing goings-on of a Canadian designer who sold his possessions and moved to the South of France to live with a woman he met via the web. He's funny, cranky, opinionated and then some. Meanwhile, two weirmaraners have been added to the menagerie, and the photos are hilarious

OpenBrackets Girlfriend of above, wonderful writer, logophile, translator. Lots of great links to fascinating sites about language. Thoughtful, often lyrical, sometimes quite funny.
