A stumper for Dr. LJ...

Hi,

So I'm listening to NPR a couple days ago (no, I don't know exactly when or what show, but wait it gets better). They're wrapping up an interview with an author where she's talking about her experiences living free (freecycle, dumpster-diving, etc.). She's got a book coming out soon. It sounded interesting, but I didn't commit the title to memory and now...now I have no idea what the book was.

I want to say that the main title was something like "Free" with the inevitable "life in a something-something-something" but obviously I could be wrong and looking for a book with "free" in the title is like asking for a haystack. Did anyone catch this and can they tell me what the book was? Or even the show/date it happened?

[ETA: I've found a satisfactory answer, thanks.]

Help me obi-LJ, you're my only hope!
Tom

Would this be it?

Free: The Future of a Radical Price

Nope. In part the author for that book is male and this was a woman. Also, that book is more of a business-level kind of deal.

thanks though

Could have it been a local public radio station that airs non-NPR programs? An exhaustive search of npr.org as well as wbur.org turns up nothing. Could it have been a woman named Raina Kelly? She was on in 2007 talking about living "freegan" but I could not find any evidence of her having a book coming out soon.

Maybe. I think just to make my mind happy, I'll say that you're right and I heard a repeat show and there was no book.

Thanks
Tom
