Susan Orlean helps you get it on the calendar

John Moe Nov 23, 2010

Last spring, back when I was just getting ready to take over hosting the show that would become Marketplace Tech Report, I was talking to Susan Orlean. You know her from The New Yorker, where she’s a staff writer, or maybe from the movie Adaptation, where a version of Susan was played by Meryl Streep. Anyway, we were talking about technology and radio and she brought up the idea of being an occasional app reviewer on the air. Susan being one of the brightest, funniest, most human people we know, Larissa and I leaped at the opportunity.

In her latest visit with us, Susan takes a look at calendaring apps. Ways to get your life a bit more organized and juggle your schedule effectively while doing so with a bit of panache.

She talks about:
Calvetica
Calengoo
Diacarta and
Mujicalendar

Here’s the full audio:
