We interview Wes Raynal, editor of Autoweek magazine. Topics include: a Detroit Auto Show review and best car picks, as well as the purpose and scope of Autoweek which now includes, in addition to the print magazine, digital editions for smartphones and the iPad, two websites, weekly emails, weekly video auto news via email, and a weekly cable TV show: "Vinsetta's Garage."

Richard Greener is the author of a series of fiction novels whose central figure is Walter Sherman, a.k.a. The Locator, now a new FOX-TV series: "The Finder," Thursdays 9-10 PM. We ask him about his writing career and how Hart Hanson, creator and executive producer of FOX's "Bones," got involved to also produce this TV series. However, an equally important story is Mr. Greener's struggle with heart problems for several decades and how he received amazing support and encouragement from many famous people, as well as his wife, of course (and many doctors and hospitals).
