DESCRIPTION:Tracy Kidder, master of the nonfiction narrative and author of the Pulitzer 
 Prize-winning classic The Soul of the New Machine and the bestselling 
 Mountains Beyond Mountains, presents the inspiring story of Kayak.com 
 founder Paul English, a kinetic, unconventional inventor and 
 entrepreneur.\n\nGrowing up in working-class Boston, Paul English discovers 
 the perfect medium for his talents the first time he sees a computer. 
 Despite suffering from what is later diagnosed as bipolar disorder, he 
 begins his pilgrim journey through the surreal ups and downs of our brave 
 new world. Relating to the Internet as if it was an extension of his own 
 mind, English discovers that he has a gift for building creative teams of 
 individuals. His innovative management style, rapid success, and innate 
 sense of fair play inspires intense loyalty. When English does make a 
 fortune - as co-founder of the travel website Kayak.com (which sold for 
 almost two billion dollars) - his first concern is how to give it away. 
 \n\nWith the power of a consummate storyteller, Tracy Kidder casts a fresh, 
 critical and often humorous eye on the way new inventions and new money are 
 reshaping our Culture. A Truck Full of Money is a unique portrait of an 
 irresistibly endearing man who is indefatigable, utterly original, and 
 wonderfully unpredictable. \n\nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM\n\nHosted by 
 Mitch Jeserich, Host and Producer of  KPFA's Letters and Politics, is a 
 veteran broadcast journalist. He got his start as KPFA's California State 
 Political Reporter in Sacramento before going to Washington DC to cover the 
 White House, Congress and the Supreme Court between 2003 and 2006. In 2009 
 Mitch launched a pilot program called Letters from Washington, chronicling 
 the first 100 days of the Obama administration, which became Letters & 
 Politics.\n\n1 Admit:: $15 advance, $20 door, 1 admit + book: $40, 2 admits
