Thu, Feb 19, 2015@3:02PM | comments

Back on November 7th Geddy Lee taped an episode of the new PBS series Speakeasy and was interviewed by his friend, author Michael Chabon at the McKittrick Hotel in New York City. Geddy's episode (episode 5, the season 1 finale) began airing on several PBS stations over the last few weeks, but specific air dates and times differ depending on the station.

If you know of any other stations/times, let us know in the comments. Note that the show is currently not available for viewing online. Back around the time of the taping Rush.com posted this comment from Geddy regarding the interview:

"75 minutes flew by talking to one of my favorite writers and a truly awesome person" - Geddy Lee

The Speakeasy YouTube channel posted a couple of preview clips from Geddy's episode earlier this month. The first is a short clip giving an overview of the many topics discussed during the interview, while the second is a more in-depth clip about 3 minutes long where Geddy talks about how he and Alex Lifeson typically go about writing music. Speakeasy is also running a contest where the winner gets an official signed poster from the episode. For all the details and to enter go to this location (thanks cpb).
