Looks like BBC did a radio episode for it in their "7th Dimension series"

Didn't have to listen, just be in the transmitter area I think.
Vonnegut had a very interesting writing style, great satirist too. Ever read Cat's Cradle? How about stories from his alter ego Kilgore Trout?
Yeah, I read everything he as done, back in the 70s. Really like his style. These days, I mostly just reference Harrison Berger to most people, as it is applicable to today with all the PC crap.
Cat's cradle was great. as was the Sirens of Titan, God bless you Mr Rosewater. etc.
Slaughter House 5 takes on new meaning when you realize he was there in Dresden, and lived through it. It changed him forever (no surprise).
