If you want to listen to it live go to the website - http://www.npr.org/programs/talk-of-the-nation/ Select Broadcast Schedule (doesn't matter what state) to find which stations have it, and check to see if they have live audio. As for what the interview is about easiest is to give you the quote: "Answering The Call To Duty As a young man, Joe Haldeman joined the U.S. Army not as a career, but hoping to become a scientist after serving in the war in Vietnam. He came out of the jungle with a bullet wound, a Purple Heart and a new calling: to become a writer. He's since published more than two dozen novels \227 including the The Forever War, an award-winning and highly popular antiwar book. In the April issue of Proceedings Magazine from the U.S. Naval Institute, Haldeman shares his story in an ongoing series called "Answering the Call." Neal Conan talks with Haldeman about the time he served in the military and how that experience changed his life." Elspeth
