Leslie Harris update, Fantasia/Brian Tallerico, Tapioca

I have mixed feelings about Saturday because it's National Tapioca Pudding Day, and I'm not really a fan. But somewhere out there, tapioca fans are jubilant as they get to enjoy their special day. I plan on eating some other dessert, though I really do like pudding (usually vanilla and/or chocolate).

This pudding looks more delicious than tapioca. Plus there's a cookie.

• In other news, there's an update on the seemingly vague information I reported about Leslie Harris: her first time back on the air will be on Saturday (probably not eating tapioca pudding) at 95.9 The River from 10:00-3:00, and she'll be filling in for Beth Reynolds from 10 to 3 during the entire week of the 24th.

• And watch Twitter for updates from Montreal about the Fantasia Festival from RogerEbert.com, where Brian Tallerico (who* I interviewed) is an editor. (And note his picture...guess who probably took it.)

• The next podcast (yes, I still do them), #150, is going to be with Bob Kessler, who does news at WGN Radio. He recently became ordained as a Lay Buddhist Teacher with the Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom at Zen Buddhist Temple Chicago.

*I know it's supposed to be "whom" but I want to say "who."
