After the newscast Frank Smith remembers Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, who died on Tuesday in Mexico City at the age of 83. Then Frank joins Alison Hughes in answering your letters and e-mails in "Listeners Club." Next comes "In & Around Spain," which this week focuses on the new double album by Spanish bluesman and harmonica virtuoso Ñaco Goñi, "Blues con los Colegas" (blues with my buddies) on which this veteran figure on Spain's blues scene plays with no fewer than 63 musician friends. And we wrap the broadcast up with more New York City-inspired music by Catalan jazz pianist Luis Gonález.
