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. In the first years, starting in 2006, I put up a new episode at least once a month. More recently, it became more or less often than once a month, usually less often. But in the Summer of 2020, I began getting more in the mood to podcast, and I began publishing a new episode much more often -- Paul Levinson
