Yesterday morning I was pleasantly surprised to find out from friends that I was on the front page of Slate.com. The piece is a quick interview I did back in May while in Telluride, as part of the “Interviews 50ยข” series with Alex Chadwick. In it, I tell a short story about the first (and last!) time I got conned by a couple New York street hustlers.

For those of you who may recognize this old con, I hadn’t seen “The Sting” before this happened to me! (It’s very similar to the opening sequence.)

Some of the other interviews in the series are fascinating… you can see them all here at: SlateV.com
