Light On Light Through

You'll hear a little of this and lot of that on Light On Light Through - my reviews of great television series and movies, my interviews with authors and creative media people and their interviews of me, my media theory and political commentary, thoughts about my favorite cars and food and space travel, discussions of my music, and a few of my readings from my science fiction stories.

Here are the results ...

Paul Levinson is used to getting strong responses to his work. His first novel, “The Silk Code,? won the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 1999. The first time he posted a blog about television, he got dozens of responses almost immediately, and his podcasts attract thousands of listeners. And as a professor at Fordham University in the Bronx and chair of the university’s department of communication and media studies, he’s used to challenging and getting strong responses from his students....
