About this listen

 Former Vice Presidential candidate and senator John Edwards and journalist Julian Dibbell on this edition of Fresh Air. During the election of 2004, Edwards resigned from the Senate. He currently lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and recently did a lot of campaigning for Democrats in advance of last week's midterm elections. He'll talk about politics, the Kerry-Edwards campaign, and his thoughts on his own possible presidential bid in 2008. He has edited a new book called Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives. In it, well-known politicians, writers, celebrities, and lesser-known professionals talk about their homes. Then, journalist Julian Dibbell, author of Play Money: Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot. In it, he explores the world of online role-playing games, where hundreds of thousands of players log on to operate fantasy characters in virtual environments. One of the most popular games, "World of Warcraft", has six million subscribers. These virtual games spawn virtual economies that have real life implications. Many players buy virtual weapons and other products on Ebay and special online storefronts. Dibbell's work has appeared in Details, Spin, Harper's, and the New York Times. He is also the author of My Tiny Life: Crime and Passion in the Vitual World, and he is currently a contributing editor for Wired magazine. (Broadcast Date: November 15, 2006)Want more Fresh Air?
