Over the past eight years Jim Foster’s author interview program,(Conversations on the Coast) has become somewhat of a fixture on the Bay Area book scene. It is, for example, the longest running book program on commercial radio in the Bay Area.Though moved from station to station, the program’s core audience always seems to find it.

Conversations on the Coast will continue to be a place where the host reads the books and the author is the star of the show; where first time authors and prize winners receive the same welcome.
