        In all probability the publisher did it because it's expected and not having one would be more of note. -- nm - . Oct 3, 14:38
      - Is there a link to that interview? -- nm - . Oct 3, 14:14 2
        
        It was on BBC radio, played over WAMU.org this morning - see if they have an archive. -- (link) - Max Oct 3, 14:18 1
