Radio Producer, Author and Songwriter; Creator of IN THESE TREES AND TARTIE, an indie music project
Binnie Klein
In These Trees and Tartie is my indie music project. My collaborator, Singer/Songwriter Tartie, hails from Melbourne, Australia, and we created all the songs on our new album, "The Quiver" remotely -- separated by a distance of 10,514 miles!
Welcome! I’m Binnie Klein. I host "A Miniature World," a music and interview show on WPKN-FM and wpkn.org. I’m a psychotherapist and author who is growing very tall from wearing so many hats (not so bad since I’m a somewhat petite person)! When radio works–when you hit that powerful segue, when an interviewee says something startling and important, when callers start their sentence with “I’ve never called a radio station before but…” –it fills me with incredible joy and gratification.

David Margolick
Contributing Editor, Vanity Fair, Author (Beyond Glory, Strange Fruit, Dreadful)
"That was the best interview I've ever had - the kind I wish I'd had when Beyond Glory first came out. Do me a favor, Binnie - go national."
Daniel Menaker
New Yorker Editor, Writer, Book Publisher, Author of "My Mistake - A Memoir"
"Binnie--that was the best interview--the most fun, the most interesting, the most two-peas-in-a-pod experience. Never had a better interview, and as an interviewer myself, never did a better interview."
Lori Gottlieb
New York Times best-selling author (Marry Him)
"Thank you for having me on your show. You're an amazing interviewer...I wish you were on here in L.A. I think you're going to have to go national one of these days!"
Wayne Koestenbaum
Poet, Cultural Critic
"I loved talking with Binnie. We had a wide-ranging and provocative conversation. Very vivid exchange. Quite wild, in a way, and much fun."
