I should disclose that I was there when Heat was first produced and it?s nice to have it back because it was ahead of it?s time back in the old days of 1990?it seems longer than that but that may just be my memory. Arguably, Heat was perhaps some of Hockenberry?s finest work in a notable career in public radio. This is a relaxed show featuring a casual interview with and performance by Mose Allison and a few songs from his country-singing daughter Amy.

With public radio searching for new ideas for evening programming perhaps it?s time to go back seventeen years for what was and remains a great idea.
