"On The Media" review of the publishing industry

"On The Media" is a weekly hour-long NPR radio show that looks at the media. This week they did their annual review of the publishing industry, and with such a lot going on they got a chance to investigate many topics we've recently discussed - adapt or die, no fiction Pulitzer, Mike Shatzkin on Pottermore, knock-off books, is Amazon a dangerous monopoly, etc. Notable for some good interviews.

They have a podcast, or you can listen to each segment individually on their web site: http://www.onthemedia.org/2012/apr/20/

I listened to the Amazon monopoly bit and after listening to Barry Lynn, I've come to the conclusion that he's not from this planet.
