Inevitably, a magazine with the reach of The New Yorker has a substantial audience across the country and in other countries. Lots of people want to participate in the New Yorker Festival, which takes place October 1-3, but are simply too far away. Those people are likely to rejoice in Fora.tv.

Fora.tv will be streaming a total of 18 NYF events as they happen (click on the link above for the exact list). You can purchase access to single events ($4.95 each) or the entire package ($59.95). Then you can watch the events as they are happening as well as on demand for 30 days after the festival. According to Fora.tv, live access "includes interactive chat, Twitter stream and simultaneous viewing—yes, you can purchase multiple programs that take place at the same time."

Good luck to both Fora.tv and its eager customers!
