TODAY ON THE BBC

Today on my pal John Barnes' UK radio show, we chat about Banksy's latest handiwork in LA, the Queen Mary's Scottish Festival, a breakout of illness at the Playboy Mansion, and the Grammys.

The show runs every Wednesday at ten o'clock (22:00) in the UK, and my segment is about ninety minutes into the show -- meaning you can hear it in the U.S. at about half-past three, Pacific Standard Time.

You can listen on the internet at BBC Lancashire; look for John's show at 22:00 in the daily schedule, or just click the "Listen Live" link around three-thirty today, PDT.
