Alex Chadwick asked me to visit his mid-day NPR show, Day to Day, to chat about my book project. You can hear the result on this page (scroll down).

Dan,
I heard the interview and was impressed. I like the idea of being able to comment on the chapters or ideas as you write successive drafts. I’m intrigued by the process because it’s interactive. (I didn’t find it easy to access the book from here, though. I look later when I have more time.)
There is one thing I’d like to impress on you: There is a historic “Paradigm Shift” taking place and virtually every journalist is reporting from an outmoded mechanistic, linear, “materialist” point of view. There is a more accurate model of the universe available to inform your thinking, since quantum physics informs us that there’is no “material” in the material universe. The new model is often called a holarchic or holotropic model.
Are you able to adapt, or are you going to be scooped (and made irrelevent) on this by another more flexible writer? From what I heard on the interiew, you may be open enough to make the shift. You are at ground zero for this shift and local thinkers like Fritjof Capra and others would probably be delighted to assist you in making the transition.
