I have never read anything of David Foster Wallace, but I will now. This podcast by "To the Best of Our Knowledge" is a great overview of the author, his work, and the depression which eventually led to his suicide.
The best part is a short excerpt from a commencement speech he delivered at Kenyon College in 2005, it begins at 48:49 of the podcast. If you would like to read the transcript of the speech click here.
This podcast is no longer available on itunes, but you can listen now.
