Scarsdale Library to Host Taping of Person Place Thing with Guest Maxwell Krohn SHS'95

Randy Cohen will bring his radio program, Person Place Thing, on the road with a taping at the Scarsdale Public Library on Saturday, December 3, at 11.am. Cohen's guest will be Scarsdale native Maxwell Krohn.

Krohn was the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of TheSpark.com, SparkNotes.com and OkCupid.com. A 1995 Scarsdale High School graduate, Krohn earned degrees from Harvard and MIT. Most recently, he co-founded Keybase.io, a service that enables people to easily encrypt, decrypt and send secure messages.

Person Place Thing is an interview show, based on the idea that people are particularly engaging when asked to speak about something they care about. Guests on the show talk about one person, one place, and one thing of importance to them. Randy Cohen, former New York Times writer of The Ethicist column, has interviewed more than 150 guests for his program, including Hank Azaria, Roz Chast, Julianne Moore, and Andrew Ross Sorkin.

"We were honored when Randy Cohen approached us about taping an episode of Person Place Thing at the Scarsdale Library and were delighted when Max Krohn agreed to be the featured guest," said Library Director Beth Bermel. "We are looking forward to an entertaining morning at the library."

The taping is free and open to the public, but registration is required as space is limited. To register, visit scarsdalelibrary.org, or call the Reference Desk at 914-722-1302.
