Here's the blurb sent out by C-Span:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A monthly LIVE author interview, featuring your calls
Sunday 12 PM-3 PM ET, re-airs Sunday at midnight ET
Author and linguist John McWhorter will be our guest this month on In Depth. Mr. McWhorter is currently a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and has taught at University of California - Berkeley and Cornell University. His books include: Authentically Black; Losing the Race: Self- Sabotage in Black America; Winning the Race: Beyond the Crisis in Black America; The Power of Babel: A Natural History of Language; Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music in America and Why We Should, Like, Care; Defining Creole; and Language Interrupted: Signs of Non-Native Acquisition in Standard Language Grammars. You can participate in the discussion by calling in during the program: Republicans 202-737-0001, Democrats 202-737-0002, Independents 202-628- 0205 or by e-mailing your questions to [email protected].
This, ladies and gentlemen, promises to be a very interesting show. C-Span2 does a great job with these three-hour interviews. The last one I remember watching, however, involved another conservative bad boy who has been convicted via Star Chamber proceedings of violating the mandates of the "colored team." That, of course, was Dinesh D'Souza and there seemed to be an inordinate amount of negative callers allowed through.
I expect the same result this Sunday. Naturally, the show will be repeated; the listed March repeats as of this writing are Monday March 3rd at Midnight [that's this Sunday night in the minds of most], Saturday March 8th at 9 a.m., and Monday March 10th at 3 a.m.
