Sorry. The guy is Hugh Dancy (Hannibal). It should turn up on the podcast for Selected Shorts. Or at least I hope so. They each read an Agatha Christie story except Megan who is the host. It was to raise money for Symphony Space.

Is this some P.R. for that PBS program where celebs read short stories? Of course there's Megan. I recognize Lois Smith (from Steppenwolf Theater here in Chicago), Fran Leibowitz (she's an actress now?), and Andrea Martin. Who's the guy? Looks like a young Hugh Jackman...sort of. Must be a Brit. And the other woman? Is this being broadcast soon? I'll go do a search.
As you've probably discovered, John, it's a series of readings on stage, some of which are broadcast in a radio series from Public Radio International/PRI, which used to be the largest syndicator of programming to public stations, but arguably isn't so much anymore...first the Minnesota Public Radio shows split off (and are now American Public Media syndication offers), and then a lot of others were either picked up by the National Public Radio network or Public Radio Exchange/PRX, which has grown very large as a syndicator. http://www.selectedshorts.org/listen/
The smaller Pacifica Radio Network, which has been tearing itself to shreds for the last two decades or so but carries on, still also offers a fair amount of programming around the country....some community stations take from NPR and Pacifica and the syndicators...
