Out of Thin Air David Bouchier

David Bouchier has aired his opinion on public radio every week for the last twenty-five years, entertaining and occasionally enlightening his audience with an Englishman's view of American culture. Out of Thin Air collects 120 of these essays and sets them loose on the world.



No subject is too small for Bouchier-or too big. He's been accused of inserting humor into serious topics, and it's a charge he gleefully agrees is true. Bouchier sees the strange, the delightful, and the ridiculous in everything, from the complexities of the federal tax system to the appeal of NASCAR racing.



Out of Thin Air is a compilation of essays aired between 2011 and 2017. While they're short and snappy, Bouchier's seemingly lighthearted essays have earnest messages lurking just below the humor. It's this mix of irreverent charm and cutting insight that's made him the most popular radio personality in the New York and Connecticut broadcast areas.



Dive into a collection of essays that question everything with deft wit and biting irony. Bouchier's outsider status annoys those who can't see their own foibles and delights those who can.
