James Lileks is back at his accustomed place on one of the chrome stools in front of the boomerang pattern Formica counter in the diner on Old Highway 23, about thirteen and a half minutes from wherever you happen to be at the moment.

¡Disculpe!
The Diner is open. Went all the way to Mexico last week just to watch a man die.

You Are Now Free to Move About the Diner
We’re getting ready for a road trip and you know it’s not best to travel on an empty stomach. So sidle to the long counter and get something in you before we take off. James will return in two weeks. See you then.

The Wreck of the Tighty Whitey
In which the SS Tighty Whitey becomes a wreck and strands Gilligan and company on an island with a lot of vines and bamboo. Meanwhile in the news…. one of these days, Alice… to the moon! (Or at least to The Diner.)

Customer Reviews
More James!
So many times on flagship ricochet cast I wish there was more James. Now we have more James! Love the show!
Incomparable Is Overused, It Should Be Reserved the Diner
James Lileks takes us into the world his gloriously quirky imagination inhabits and it is only 13 and half minutes from where we happen to be. Always funny, frequently informative and inimitably compelling. I don’t miss an episode of his gorgeous sound paintings.
One of my all time favorites!
I may have lsiened to every episode of the orginal radio run. I'm trilled to have the show back in any form.
