In August 2006, the national, weekly public radio program, The Infinite Mind, made broadcast history as it aired a four-part special taped inside the 3-D virtual on-line community Second Life. Among those interviewed in front of a live, virtual audience was author Kurt Vonnegut. The 40-minute conversation with Vonnegut was the author's last sit-down interview. The host was The Infinite Mind's John Hockenberry, who was with Vonnegut in the studio where the program was created. This is a machinima video of Vonnegut's interview, taped at the 16-acre virtual broadcast center in Second Life built by Lichtenstein Creative Media, which produces The Infinite Mind.

Yes. After 25 years they decided to end the show for various reasons. If you search for them thru NPR or APR you should find out all of the information. There's a slight monetary scandal that just came up, tough the show wasn't trying to do any money conflict of interest thing. Long live excellent radio programming!!

You could argue that Vonnegut was a new Mark Twain, and if we repeat that, next time we have a new energy (steam/oil to oil/nuclear) were gonna have a new vonnegut. Rather unfortunantly, Not in our lifetimes.

RIP The Infinite Mind, a radio program that brought many years of enjoyment and enlightenment to so many people. What a shame that for every NPR show like this there are hundreds of poorly written TV programs and poorly researched news programs. There truly is nothing better than National Public Radio. My huge thanks to the staff of The Infinite Mind, HM

This man is a god among all human beings. There will never in the history of the world be another Vonnegut.
