For Bald Ego co-editors Max Blagg and Glenn O'Brien, too much of the classics is not nearly enough for the radical present. Listen as they rend sweet and bitter soundings from Petronius, Henny Youngman, Mallarme and Beatnik Bob Kaufman.

Following the success of their reconstituted interviews on their last show, Blagg and O'Brien repeated the format, inviting Andy Warhol to enlighten a rather earnest film student, and Alex Katz and Richard Prince to trade aphorisms and witticisms.

Co-hosts Blagg & O'Brien turned their focus on a single tome for this broadcast: the classic compilation, An Anthology of New York Poets, published by Vintage in 1970, and containing the cream of the New York School.

In their most unusual move yet, hosts Glenn O'Brien and Max Blagg gave center stage to Charles Bernstein- only their second studio guest in twelve episodes -and listened politely (even more unusual!) when he played several rare recordings.

Poets Max Blagg and Glenn O'Brien, co-founders of the art/literary journal Bald Ego share intimations of mortality while encouraging their guest, sexy-girl painter Duncan Hannah to revert to his closet persona as a short story writer.
