Who knew hats could spark this much debate? In this episode, we dive into everything from style experiments (shoutout to Hunter S. Thompson) to the ultimate hat choices for people with ‘small heads.' Join us as we check in on each other's lives, talk about a potential new guest host, and tackle the big questions: who are these guys, and what's up with all the dad hats? We get nostalgic over old-school landlines, discuss parenting in the age of phones, and share some candid thoughts on kids, friends, and modern communication. Plus, we talk about the one item every New Yorker should own, why we think some hats were just not meant to be, and what happens when you accidentally leave your phone at Starbucks. From baseball caps to Hunter S. vibes, it's a classic catch-up with laughs, a few surprising stories, and one or two too many opinions on hats. Buckle up for a laid-back, funny, and totally unfiltered episode! [00:00] Intro - You're here, don't ask why… [05:23] Hat talk – Hunter S. Thompson's impact on headgear [12:47] The Diddy dilemma – we swear, no more Diddy talk!

In September 1976, Dr Hunter S. Thompson, then at the height of his infamy as the drink-and-drug-soaked Dean of Gonzo Journalism, came Down Under to give a series of public lectures. What ensued was chaotic – but not for the reasons you might expect. In this episode, we look at what Australia was like when Hunter S. touched down – and we hear from Peter Olszewski, aka "J.J. McRoach", then a young hippie tasked with wrangling the good doctor… and whose adventures would include flying through an electrical storm with the man... while tripping on LSD.To hear Hunter S.

Our song began in 1971 when Hunter S. Thompson wrote about the end of the 60s.He may as well have been writing about the end of a love affair.“We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark – that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”You are free to use – or not use – words and phrases from that sad soliloquy at the end of a dream. But the song lyrics you are going to write won't be about the end of the 60s. You are going to write a song about the end of a love affair.Another group of possible words and phrases you might use popped into my head during a business trip to Las Vegas in 2010. I was passing through the casino as I headed back to my room after speaking to an auditorium full of strangers when I saw a pattern, thought a thought, and wrote it down before I fell asleep.“Girls in black spandex pants, high-heeled boots and baggy leather coats punctuate Las Vegas. Vodka fumes trail like invisible puppies as they pass the dead-eyed, spent ones going through the motions of having fun without having any of it.”But the most important part of this song that you – yes, you – are going to assemble from bits and pieces of these shattered memories will be the phrase that Brad Whittington scribbled down in 2012 as he was driving past the Mean-Eyed Cat, a famous dive bar.“You're just the one she hasn't left yet.”That's the hook, the recurrent chorus. “You're just the one she hasn't left yet,” will show up repeatedly as you write this song that some lucky singer is going to make famous. That singer will tour and sell T-shirts and sign autographs and be famous. But you and me and Brad are going to reach into our mailboxes and pull-out handfuls of songwriting royalties.Did you know that singers and their bands get zero money when their songs play on the radio? The only people who make money from airplay are the songwriters.That's going to be you and me and Brad.Bernie Taupin doesn't sing or play an instrument, but he has collected more than 70 million dollars in royalties from the lyrics of songs that play on the radio each day.Brad and I feel the musicians and singers should get some money, too, but that's not how the system works. Oh, well. Maybe they'll get rich selling concert tickets and T-shirts.Or maybe they should learn to write song lyrics.To submit your song, all you have to do is follow these simple steps:Don't worry about whether your song lyrics make sense. You're not writing an essay full of facts. You're writing a song full of feelings.Your song lyrics will need to have poetic meter, those wonderful rhythms created by the stressed and unstressed syllables of spoken words.You must repeatedly use the phrase, “You're just the one she hasn't left yet,” and you have to use a few of the words and phrases contributed by Hunter S. Thompson and me. You can decide which phrases you will use, and you are free to add words and phrases of your own, of course.Your song can be Rock, Yacht Rock, Folk, Country, Western Swing, Opera, R & B, Rap, Hip-Hop, Bluegrass, or some musical genre I've never heard of. Brad and I don't care and Hunter S most certainly doesn't.You have to send your lyrics and an MP3 recording of your song, with or without musical accompaniment, to indy@wizardofads.com before midnight Sunday, April 30, 2023.There is a distinct chance that no one will ever hear your song except for Indy Beagle and Brad and me. But we are all going to have a wonderful time and that's something in itself, don't you think?Yes, I was serious about sending us a recording. We need to hear the...
Tom McGuane is a giant among legends across all continents and countries. His boundless heart and endless determination tackled dreams only he could've accomplished. Tom's extraordinary writing is in the record books and for the rest of time he'll be remember as one of the greats. His literary spectrum includes ten novels, five screen plays, and countless short stories. His work has received a page full of awards culminating with his induction into The American Academy of Arts and Letters. But then there's the fishing, the hunting, and the HORSES; cutting horses. Tom McGuane is a savant of many talents! Although he was born in Michigan, his heart ventured west. As a young man he worked on a ranch in Wyoming where he first got his boots dirty. After the success of his book and movie “Sporting Club," he bought a ranch in Montana and property in Key West. His life on a horse became extremely important to him and he became a great “cutter” often beating the best in the world and eventually was inducted into The Cutting Horse Hall of Fame. But it was in Key West where Tom McGuane caught fire. It was there, when his writing was young and his aspirations were as vibrant as the blistering sun. Literature, fishing, and adventures after dark took on a life of its own. It was there, where of a handful of friends, all writers too, became a brotherhood that challenged life's offering to its fullest. Jim Harrison, Russell Chatham, Guy De La Valdene, Jimmy Buffett, Hunter S.Thompson, and Kurt Brautigan did what the rest of the world wished they could do. They had more fun than the law allowed and were brilliant with everything they touched. Each would become extremely successful and famous. But as much as anything else, they loved to fish. What most the fishing world doesn't know is that these guys put Tarpon fishing on the map. And they made a movie about it called, "Tarpon." This production showed what a magnificent, beautiful, ageless fish it is. It loves to eat flies, it's big and jumps majestically.... It's the most perfect fly rod fish one could ever have the privilege to catch. As much as Tom McGuane has accomplished, his greatest success is having Laurie Buffett as his wife and their daughter Annie. And fathering two other children, Thomas and Maggie with former wives, Rebecca Crocket and Margot Kidder.

This podcasts covers how I caddied and partied really really hard with a guy named Carl in the 1988 PGA Championship in my hometown of Edmond Oklahoma. Which lead to me meeting his childhood friend Paul Azinger who at the time was the number one golfer on earth and playing two practice rounds with him before the tournament. We then head to New Orleans for a Super Bowl and have a great time in the Big Easy with my new friend and have a close encounter with Jerry Rice, Brett Farve, the police and drive a really fast motor home and not in that order. We also throw in a couple of stories about how I met Pete Dye and how he helped me design a golf course from his private helicopter. All big fun in the mantra of Hunter S.

On this episode of the podcast we talk with Adoo and Oskee of the psychedelic, reggae, and hip-hop genre bending duo, Space Kamp. These Pennsylvania-based musicians (one now in Florida), cannabis advocates, and psychonauts, are currently working on their new album, Butterfly Effect, a collection of songs focused on the bright side, inner growth and pushing forward through setbacks and self doubt. Space Kamp were recently asked to perform at PA dispensary Beyond/Hello openings and are also regulars at New Jersey Cannabis Festival and Penncannafest, among others. They are due to release a collaborative product with Best Damn Buds, a THC-O cartridge line with band-centric artwork and collector cards. With production from the multiple Juno and Much Music Award winning producer Rob the Viking, Space Kamp has created a fresh sound with hypnotic grooves, fantastic samples and instrumentation, and meaningful lyrics. With their 2020 album Electric Lemonade charting #7 on Google Play and #15 on iTunes Reggae, they have created something original and honest. Their vibe has been described as "a mixed cocktail of Merry Pranksters and Hunter S.Thompson with the sonics of The Grateful Dead and Bob Marley, stirred in a pot with Redman, Method Man, and Tego Calderon". We discuss the origins of their music, touring and festivals, political topics and more. As advocates for prison reform and federal legalization of cannabis, psilocybin, and home grow, a percent of every BE album presale will go to the non profit Freedom Grow Forever who help inmates incarcerated for cannabis receive commissary. Additionally, they host an annual Toy and Coat Drive and fundraiser for the Leigh Valley Children's Hospital. Special thanks to Press Junkie PR and Top Shelf Music for putting us in touch!

On this episode of Flashpoint, WCNC Charlotte's Hunter Sáenz sits down with US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg about what's being done to improve transportation and infrastructure in Charlotte and across the country. "We have communities like Charlotte, that are innovating, thinking about the future -- putting their money where their mouth is," Buttigieg said. "But they haven't had the support that they deserve from Washington." Later, Log Cabin Republicans of North Carolina, a conservative LGBTQ group, is condemning recent remarks by North Carolina Lt. Governor republican Mark Robinson. Several video clips have surfaced in recent months showing Robinson speaking to church groups and conservative gatherings, and insulting LGBTQ people. In one recent clip, he suggested homosexuals are inferior to heterosexuals, saying they serve no purpose. All of this and more on Flashpoint, only on WCNC Charlotte and WCNC.com.

On this edition of Parallax Views, it's a Halloween hangover episode where politics and horror movies collide! Martin Harris, author of Leatherface vs. Tricky Dick: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as Political Satire, joins me to examine filmmaker Tobe Hooper's 1974 cult classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in the context of the turbulent political scandal it was made in the midst of: Watergate and the fall of President Richard Milhouse Nixon. Believe it or not, Hooper himself made references to how his infamous film was influenced by the political climate of the 1970s. Much was going on when the film was being made. U.S. economic woes were increasing while gas shortages impacted the nation. The leftovers of the psychedelic 60s counterculture were wondering about in the aftermath of the Manson Family killings and Altamont. The Vietnam War was winding down but its effect on the American psyche was looming large. The rural/urban divide was growing. And Richard Nixon, with the help of his cronies like G.

This week on FLASHPOINT, WCNC's Hunter Sáenz sits down with Charlotte City Councilmen, Republican Tariq Bokhari and Democrat Larken Egleston on Mecklenburg County's mask mandate for public buildings. The City of Charlotte has had a mask mandate for a few weeks now, but this week Mecklenburg County's went into effect county-wide. The mandate is for inside public buildings in Mecklenburg County, regardless of vaccination status. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department plans to handle enforcement of the mandate the same as it did before, with voluntary compliance and education. In most cases, officers will remind people who are not wearing masks inside public spaces that it's now required.

Hoy nos vista Alberto Sáez editor de Libros del KO. Una editorial que os encanta por sus libros sobre fútbol y deportes y por el resto de sus colecciones. Como ellos mismos dicen en su web “ Nuestro objetivo es sencillo: recuperar el libro como formato periodístico. Ya sea en pergamino, en papel o en digital. Creemos en las grandes historias contadas a otro ritmo. Sin prisas, sin limitación de espacio, sin necesidad de consultar obsesivamente el reloj de la actualidad. Creemos que la crónica periodística puede ser un género muy sexy y somos radicalmente promiscuos: nos encanta la crónica deportiva, el perfil minucioso, la microhistoria en la que nadie se fija, los obituarios, los corresponsales en zonas calientes y los redactores de periódicos de provincia que le buscan las cosquillas a las ruedas de prensa de los prohombres regionales; el cascarrabias Josep Pla y el gonzo Hunter S.Thompson, a quien nos gustaría juntar en una tertulia y ver qué pasa; las revistas para distraídos, como Etiqueta Negra, y las gacetas ilustradas del siglo XVIII; los charlatanes geniales como Julio Camba y los periodistas perezosos como Enric González; los fotógrafos que recorren la ex Unión Soviética para fotografiar satélites y los que dedican su vida a perseguir traineras en una zodiac; los fanzines y los púlpitos, el ciclismo y Chechenia, los columnistas descreídos y las defensoras del lector deslenguadas. Todo va a salir mal, y nos parece estupendo.”

This week on Flashpoint, Ben Thompson sits down for an exclusive one-on-one interview with U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R - N.C.). Tillis was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and had surgery to tackle it instead of less aggressive treatments. Tillis says he's already back to work on Capitol Hill while still recovering from surgery. You'll hear the full interview on the podcast today. PLUS: We pivot back to the Queen City, where a question that continues to be asked has new answers popping up: what is Charlotte doing to expand access to affordable housing? Hunter Sáenz dives into a new development approved by the city council that could offer a solution, one housing advocates say is desperately needed. Want the latest news from the Carolinas?

Do you suffer from anxiety disorder? Depression? Intrusive thoughts? Obsessive compulsive disorder? Voluntary hair pulling? Avoidant personality disorder? Any of the above? Well, Jenny Lawson suffers from all of the above. Tuberculosis too, according to her wonderful new book. It’s an overwhelming way to live and only partly cured by being a global community leader for mental health through her wonderful blog (TheBloggess.com), her millions of followers, and her indie bookshop Nowhere Bookshop down in San Antonio, Texas. Does Jenny Lawson do podcasts? Interviews? No, not really. She tells us at the beginning of the chat that she loves 3 Books so much that she wanted to come — lucky us, as 3 Bookers have been asking for this interview for years! — and she made herself cozy by calling me up from under her desk, in cozy clothes, post-beta-blockers, and with Hunter S. Tomcat providing animal therapy throughout. Jenny is funny, crass, smart, and openhearted. She’s struck a deep chord with her books Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Furiously Happy, You Are Here, and Broken. (All, I should mention, with the wonderful Amy Einhorn who’s edited four of my books, too!) Jenny and I talk about what a good editor does, reading in the freezer, stealing Stephen King, dollhouse therapy, mental health toolkits, LSD, what your kids will actually remember about you as a parent, and of course, Jenny’s 3 most formative books. Jenny is gracious and disarmingly truthful and she doesn't want her pain to go to waste. She is a beaming voice the world needs more of and today I am just so privileged to help her do just that. Let’s flip the page into Chapter 76 … What You'll Learn: What does an editor do? How do you read horror books when you have anxiety? How do you open a bookshop? What is reading guilt? How can ketamine treat depression? How can we cultivate self care and self awareness if we have anxiety? What are intrusive thoughts? How does depression lie? What is a mental health toolkit? What is dollhouse therapy? How can we talk to our kids about mental illness? You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/76 Leave us a voicemail.

If you appreciate Parallax Views and the work of J.G. Michael please consider supporting the show through Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views, over the course of this program's history J.G. Michael has been fairly open about his politics leaning to the leftward, sometimes called progressive, end of the political compass. Past guests of Parallax Views, like Noam Chomsky and Bill Ayers, have reflected J.G.'s own orientation. However, J.G. doesn't want himself or his listeners to live in a bubble. As such he recently reached out to the often controversial and stylish conservative commentator Kevin D. Williamson, the roving correspondent for the National Review and author of the new book Big White Ghetto: Dead Broke, Stone-Cold Stupid, and High on Rage in the Dank Woolly Wilds of the "Real America", with an invite to appear on Parallax Views. Kevin accepted and this conversation is the result. Those expecting a debate will likely be disappointed. This is a frank conversation, co-hosted by Nathan Myers of the unfortunately defunct Clash podcast, in which J.G. and Kevin cover a wide range of topics and clarify some of Kevin's views, which, depending on what you've heard about him, may surprise you. Among the subjects we discuss and the lines of inquiry we pursue are:- How Kevin became involved in journalism and his literary influences which include the arch-conservative William F. Buckley as well as, believe it or not, the counterculture gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test fame; J.G. draws a parallel between Thompson's work on the Hell's Angels, specifically in regards to what Thompson called "the ethic of total retaliation, and some of the themes in Kevin's new book Big White Ghetto; the attitude of James Dean-style teenage rebellion in the 60s and its relevance today; social anxiety about masculinity in a world where traditional masculinity (ie: violence, physical labor, etc.) is not as high in value as it used to be and how this ties into both the rebellions of the Hell's Angels and the cultural moment of Trumpism; why Kevin writes the way he does and his dislike for what he sees as "performative empathy" - Kevin's work covering the alt right which led him to interviewing figures like the white nationalist Richard Spencer; the sense of "disappointment", driven by social and moral entitlement, that Kevin believes drove the alt right and associated movement; the "Cowboys and Indians" nature of Trumpism and Kevin's description of Trumpism as less of an ideology than an enemy's list; what William F. Buckley thought of Trump and speculating as to what Buckley would think of Trumpism - Why Trumpism has been a tough nut to crack for many commentators and why it appeals to many people that think of themselves as conservative despite it not being, in Kevin's view, conservative in nature; Kevin's thoughts on Tucker Carlson and journalists in the Trump World who are from wealthy backgrounds that have appointed themselves as voices for the white working class, the rustbelt, and the forgotten areas of American society; the disconnect between those who know poverty and those who haven't experienced poverty; Kevin's criticisms of figures like Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity within the conservative media - Politics as aesthetics and social affiliation; Kevin's article entitled "Acting White"; professionals pretending to be rednecks and what Kevin calls the "white minstrel show"; why Kevin included the phrase "The Real America" in the subtitle of his book; Ted Cruz and social posturing/affectation; careerism in conservative media and shifting values within said media; the ascent of the professional conservative; the different worlds that exist within conservative media; how Sean Hannity and others are terrified of there own audiences due to what Kevin calls the right-wing version of "Cancel Culture"; the problem of subservience to political power amongst journalists; Kevin's view of libertarianism; the financial pressures of AM right-wing radio and the freedom Kevin is afforded by working for the National Review rather than working in the radio-sphere. - Kevin's thoughts on paleoconservatives like Pat Buchanan as well as his thoughts on the libertarian thinker Murray Rothbard; Rothbard's idea of a pan-radical movement of antiwar activists and figures like David Duke against the Establishment; how conspiracy theories and the conspiratorial mindset of organizations like the John Birch Society rose in relation to the intellectual side of the conservative movement; the content of Rothbard being abandoned in favor of the style and rhetoric; the prevalence of a theater of "Us and Them" elites-betraying-we-the-people story-telling in the right-wing today; is paleoconservatism even conservative in an American context; conservatism in the American context as being tied to liberalism whereas conservatism in Europe is more tied to blood-and-soil, throne-and-altar nationalism; anti-liberal elements that vote for the Republican Party for non-ideological reasons; tribalism as driving current political fights rather than policy - Cultural politics as a substitute for real politics and policy discussion; the changing of cultural politics in both the Democratic Party and Republican Party since the 1980s; cultural politics as snobbery; the rebranding of Democrats as the party of professionals and the Republicans as the party of the working class and poor; snobbery on both sides of the political spectrum; people wanting to argue and debate with the caricature of what they perceive a person's politics and culture to be rather than the actual person; post-politics and Andy Warhol's idea of fame as hell on earth; celebrity-seeking behavior and social media; life as performance rather than "just living" in an age of being constantly watched through social media; Kevin's lack of presence on social media; the removal of connected and traditional means of social meaning and belonging leading to the current morality plays that occur on social media - Does Kevin hate poor rural whites or is that a misrepresentation; growing up in a poor family but having an advantage in regards to social capital due to living in the college town of Lubbock, Texas; the great mistake of America's policy discussion and the way in which policy discussions are dominated by the well-heeled, educated classes and reflective of their interests; - Kevin's infamous debate with Michael Brendan Dougherty and his controversial comments declaring that broken communities in rural America should be allowed to die; Kevin's belief that, on the individual level, should leave those communities to form a better life; policy being erronesouly based on places rather than people; Boonville, Kentucky and other places that Kevin has written about that don't, in the current moment, seem to have much of an economic future - Kevin's essay "I Am Cancer"; readers ascribing what they want to Kevin's writing regardless of what Kevin actually believes; the story of Kevin's experience evicting a family from a house he inherited; the theme in "I Am Cancer" of a lack of recognition in regards to how bad things don't just happen overnight; the terribly sad and depressing nature of Kevin's experience with eviction court and how he turned the experience into an essay; the subjectless-ness of the stories Kevin heard during his experience in eviction court; how "I Am Cancer" gets to the heart of Kevin's debate with Michael Brendan Doughtery; Kevin's policy suggestion of relocation benefits and other social welfare programs to help people in these communities. - Nathan asks about Kevin's essay, from which the book gets it's title, "The Big White Ghetto"; the problems of poverty not having obvious solutions due to factors like mental health issues, drug dependency, etc.; how soda was used as a form of currency in that story; the importance of talking to people, from drug dealers to police, in covering these stories and the mistake journalists make by only talking to figures from institutions - Nathan asks Kevin why there's a refusal to acknowledge the nature of the crisis in forgotten communities and Kevin's response involving the "Two Santa Clauses" theory; the "Get a Job" cartoon version of conservatism and what Kevin sees as the kernel of truth in that advice when it comes to communities that are economically dying; JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy; Kevin's thoughts on anti-immigrant attitudes; moving out of these communities, or dispersion, as the only way out of the destitution of these communities and why Kevin believes that saying this is the only option needs to be said; "performative empathy" as a disservice to bettering people's lives - How Kevin's writing on the subject covered in Big White Ghetto are similar to those written about by the true crime author and conservative commentator Theodore Dalrymple; both Dalrymple and Williamson write about what has been described as the situation of an overlooked "permanent underclass"; how Dalrymple's writing deals with people in prisons whereas Kevin deals with populations that are less concentrated; the passive voice in the stories of the poor that both Dalrymple and Willamson - Ending on a note of levity with a story involving Kevin babysitting, the adult video game Leisure Suit Larry, and Watergate burglar G.

White to a gloomy fan In 1973, more than two decades after a young woman wrote to Albert Einstein with a similar concern, one man sent a distressed letter to E.B. White (July 11, 1899–October 1, 1985), lamenting that he had lost faith in humanity. The beloved author, who was not only a masterful letter-writer but also a professional celebrator of the human condition and an unflinching proponent of the writer's duty to uplift people, took it upon himself to boost the man's sunken heart with a short but infinitely beautiful reply, found in Letters of Note: Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience (public library) — the wonderful collection based on Shaun Usher's labor-of-love website, which also gave us young Hunter S. Thompson on how to live a meaningful life. White's missive, penned on March 30, 1973, when he was 74, endures as a spectacular celebration of the human spirit: Dear Mr. Nadeau: As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness. Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society — things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man's curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out. Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day. Sincerely, E. B. White --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/losalamosjjab/message

On this edition of Parallax Views, authoritarianism has been a hot topic since the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency of the United States in 2016. But there's actually a rich history of social science studies interrogating the dilemma of the authoritarian personality. In fact, according to our guest on this edition of the program, there's over half a century worth of research on the authoritarian personality type. John W. Dean, a former White House Counsel under President Richard Nixon who testified to Congress in the Watergate hearings, joins us to discuss his new book, co-authored with Bob Altemeyer, entitled Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and His Followers. In this fascinating conversation, John and begin by referencing the work of Hunter S. Thompson and his idea of "Fear and Loathing" in politics being apropos of the current zeitgeist. John then details the different types of authoritarian personality types: social dominators, authoritarian followers, and "double highs". We discuss each of these type and how, despite key differences between them, they have coalesced in the era of the Trump Presidency. In this regard, we take some time to delve into the connection between Right-Wing Authoritarianism and the evangelical Christian Right. John makes the case that these types of authoritarian personality types are either impossible to persuade or, at the very least, very hard to persuade. In other words, converting authoritarian personalities may prove a Sisyphean task. We also discuss conservatism, the GOP, and right-wing authoritarianism. John relates how Authoritarian Nightmare is a sequel of sort to his previous book Conservatives Without Conscience. The prequel to Authoritarian Nightmare, John says, was actually a planned collaboration betwen John Dean and 1964 GOP Presidential nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater. I ask John a bit about his time as a "Goldwater conservative" and John gives some anecdotes about Barry Goldwater in this regard. According to John, Goldwater was disillusioned with the direction the Republican Party was going in by the time of the Reagan Presidency in the 1980s. John argues that Goldwater was unfairly smeared as a racist, nativist conservative, but in reality was more or less a libertarian. Jumping off from this point, John says that he can't really fault the GOP entirely for it's authoritarian voter base and that the base informs the make-up of the Party rather than the other way around. Before wrapping up John and I discuss whether Trump and his followers can really be considered conservative and if the GOP today is representative of a movement related to the historical tradition of political conservatism. We also chat about the similarities and differences between Richard Nixon and Donald Trump in this regard. All that and much more on this edition of Parallax Views.

In dieser Folge: „On the Road (Urfassung)“ von Jack Kerouac, „Naked Lunch“ von William S. Burroughs und „Angst und Schrecken in Las Vegas“ von Hunter S. Thompson. Feel the beat! Heute reisen wir mit der Beat Generation durch die USA und jagen den amerikanischen Traum. Sex, Drugs & Bebop nach – Schriftsteller wie Kerouac, Ginsberg und Burroughs waren echte Rockstars und haben sich gegen die konservative Gesellschaft der 50er-Jahre aufgelehnt.
In 1970, the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ran for Sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado as the anointed candidate of the newly formed Freak Power political party. He promised an immediate end to marijuana arrests and abusive policing. He also promised to rip up the streets of Aspen and sod them. And that his first act as sheriff would be to “install on the courthouse lawn a platform and a set of stocks in order to punish dishonest dope dealers in a proper public fashion.” Thompson even shaved his head bald, so he could refer to incumbent Sheriff Carroll D. Whitmire as “my longhaired opponent” during their much anticipated debate. Hear an excerpt from that debate in this episode, plus archival audio from the Freak Power Party’s campaign headquarters on Election Day. Read the book Freak Power for more on Hunter S. Thompson’s run for sheriff, including his incredible artwork and campaign materials. Watch the documentary Gonzo to celebrate the life and work of one of the 20th Century’s towering figures in journalism, politics and literature.

En klassiker fra guttegarderobens arkiv, til glede for nye lyttere. Forhåpentligvis gamle også, for denne rakkeren ble spilt inn i vår og er tidligere upublisert.Det er sjeldent gutta dine jazzer om tegneserier, for det har vi nada peiling på. Derfor slepte vi kunstviter og tegneserie-connoisseur Zeenat Amiri ned fra eremittilværelsen i fjellhytta hun skrev masteroppgaven sin på. Hun øser sjenerøst fra all sin kunnskap om paneler og snakkebobler, og lærer oss det alle burde kunne om den dystopiske transhumanisme-bibelen «Transmetropolitan». Den er ikke bare spennende og sylfrekk, men også en skremmende parallell til det politiske landskapet vi har klart å surre oss inn i.

Join award-winning horror author Lucy A. Snyder for an Indian lunch as we discuss how Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time made her want to become a writer, the rare bad advice she got from one of her Clarion instructors, the way Hunter S. Thompson and Truman Capote taught her about consensual truth, how she learned to embrace her uneasy relationship with horror, the time Tim Powers said of one of her early stories that "this is an example of everything that's wrong with modern science fiction," why if you want to write flash fiction you should learn to write poetry, what you should consider if you're starting a new writing workshop, how best to prepare for public readings of emotionally difficult stories, the way she used Kickstarter to continue her Jessie Shimmer series (plus everything you need to know to start your own campaign), what it was like writing in the Doctor Who and X-Files universes, and much, much more.

Der Traum vom Leben eines reisenden Reporters a´la Hunter S.Thompson war Markus Impuls, um nach dem Abi den damals klassischen Weg des Journalistik Studiums einzuschlagen. Der Journalist, Autor und Unternehmer (Rethink) hat sich schon lange vor dem „new work“ Hype mit dem neuen Arbeiten beschäftigt. "Lassen sich Aspekte des Freelancer Daseins auch auf die Festanstellung übertragen“ war die zentrale Frage, die Markus zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends (nicht nur in seinen Büchern) umtrieb. Von Markus Weg können wir nicht nur über Zeitmanagement tools mit makers und manager shedule lernen, sondern auch über die Frage „stehe ich auf und habe ich richtig Bock drauf?“ Sein Appell an sein jüngeres Ich: "Glaub daran, dass das schon funktionieren wird, hab weniger Zweifel!"
Betrunkene und Kinder sind die ehrlichsten Menschen. Ergo sind betrunkene Kinder die Allerehrlichsten. Die zwei kleinen Racker Hinni und Maxi wagen den Selbstversuch. Verwechseln Sie dies nicht mit schamloser Saufkultur, sondern begreifen Sie die volle Folge als eine Hunter-S.-Thompson-eske Form des Gonzo-Journalismus. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

Wild was the first of its kind, bringing farm to table, gluten free pizza to New York in 2006.

While all this was happening she wrote and published two books and had a kid.

From the publisher: In 1971, Robin Green had an interview with Jann Wenner at the offices Rolling Stone magazine. She had just moved to Berkeley, California, a city that promised "Good Vibes All-a Time." Those days, job applications asked just one question, "What are your sun, moon and rising signs?" Green thought she was interviewing for a clerical job like the other girls in the office, a "real job." Instead, she was hired as a journalist. With irreverent humor and remarkable nerve, Green spills stories of sparring with Dennis Hopper on a film junket in the desert, scandalizing fans of David Cassidy and spending a legendary evening on a water bed in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s dorm room. In the seventies, Green was there as Hunter S. Thompson crafted Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and now, with a distinctly gonzo female voice, she reveals her side of that tumultuous time in America. Brutally honest and bold, Green reveals what it was like to be the first woman granted entry into an iconic boys' club. Pulling back the curtain on Rolling Stone magazine in its prime, The Only Girl is a stunning tribute to a bygone era and a publication that defined a generation. Martin’s interview with Robin Green was recorded on October 2, 2018.
We stay on theme during this episode, dear listener. Friendship! I manage to work in an original parody song of a beloved Pixar classic, mention Phish for the first time, visit with I Love Lucy, Mr. Rogers and Hunter S, Thompson.

Daniel Torday makes a triumphant return to talk about his new novel, BOOMER1. He and James chat about creating the world around the book, reinventing like Dylan, aspiring to anti-lyricism, and getting excited about liking stuff. They try to parse out a comic novel vs. a funny one and what constitutes satire.

TCN8 features Juan F. Thompson, Author & son of Hunter S. Thompson. It’s our last content from GonzoFest 2017 -- the literary and music festival celebrating the work of Hunter, in Louisville, KY. While this was a significant milepost for our trip, and we’ve enjoyed sharing this content first - it’s actually a bit of a departure from the rest of our interviews. When we heard they’d lined up an interview with Juan, we were excited, but I was also a little anxious. I didn’t really know his story, and hadn’t read his book. I took a deep breath and focused on a bit of an internal conversation. A little threadbare from the trip, I was also pretty into the interview groove, having just conducted just under twenty interviews in the thirteen days prior. I thought aloud, “we’re going to count on the air of curiosity.” Kyle and I joined up with Juan after his panel discussion in the Louisville Free Library, and headed to the basement for a chat, which included our new friend Lara from LEO Weekly. Here’s Juan www.gonzofestlou.com Stories I Tell Myself - Juan F. Thompson
Leah's interview with author Matthew M. Bartlett. Matthew was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1970. At an early age he was given as a gift the novelization of The Omen; not long after that, he inherited a worn copy of Christine by Stephen King. He fell deeply in love with horror: with the Universal monsters, with Hammer films, with the rented videos from the horror section of that almost-gone artifact known as the Video Rental Store. He began writing poetry while in the English program at Central Connecticut State University. An abiding interest in horror fiction led him to start a Livejournal page whose posts were his first forays into fiction: bite-sized tales accompanied by doctored daguerreotypes and his own photographs taken in Leeds and Northampton, Massachusetts. These posts centered around a long-dead coven using radio waves to broadcast disturbing and dangerous transmissions from the dark woods of Western Massachusetts. His inspirations are varied and the foremost are certainly not atypical for the genre: H.P. Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Robert Aickman, T.E.D. Klein. Other authors he admires include Donald E. Westlake, Richard Yates, J.D. Salinger, and Hunter S. Thompson. He also draws inspiration from the radio monologues and shows of Joe Frank; the poetry of Philip Larkin, of Mark Strand, of Stephen Crane; the movies of Wes Anderson, of Ben Wheatley, of the Coen Brothers. He continues to write dark and strange fiction at his home in Western Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife Katie and an unknown number of cats. http://www.matthewmbartlett.com/ https://www.twitter.com/mattmbartlett https://www.facebook.com/matthew.mark.bartlett/ https://www.amazon.com/Matthew-M.-Bartlett/e/B00M5HEX5Y Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/ www.birdscoffeecompany.com/ Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order! https://beta.podchaser.com/ Use code legendsoftabletop for access and consider leaving us a review

All right, we are rolling today on The Writer Files with a very special guest, Mr. Dan Buettner, author extraordinaire, and New York Times bestseller, and author of Blue Zones in it’s many iterations. Thanks for coming on the show, sir. Dan Buettner: It is a delight to be here. Wise Words From the Author s Mentor George Plimpton Kelton Reid: I understand we have a mutual friend in one Adam Skolnick, a long time friend of mine. Dan Buettner: You know I just met him. We instantly became friends. It’s like one of those Celestine Prophecy things, where you just knew you had to be in each other’s life somehow. I’m a big fan of his work. Kelton Reid: Yeah, well that’s really interesting. I was visiting Mr. Skolnick out there in Malibu, and your name came up because he is putting into practice quite a few of your Blue Zones … Dan Buettner: Tenets? Kelton Reid: Tenets, thank you. I found it very inspiring, and I actually sought out the book because I wasn’t familiar with it. And wow, it’s just an amazing story. Maybe we can start there. For listeners who might not be familiar with your journey, this fantastic thing that is The Blue Zones phenomenon, maybe you could catch us up a little bit and tell us about your origins as a writer, and how you became this not only best selling author, but also now renowned educator and speaker. Dan Buettner: I’ve been an explorer for about 30 years, and have written always as an advocation, as a way to support my habit. I was mentored by the great George Plimpton, former editor of The Paris Review, and writer of Paper Lion, among others. He imparted to me the notion that if you can learn how to write, your career is in your brain. It’s like your suitcase is in your brain. You can go anywhere and unpack it. I hold records. I biked from Alaska to Argentina. I hold a record for biking around the world, and another one for biking across Africa. For each of those expeditions, I wrote for Chicago Tribune, or an outside magazine. I wrote books. Then I did a series of interactive expeditions that unraveled the Maya collapse. I worked my way up to National Geographic, where I’ve become a Fellow there, and a fairly frequent writer for their books and their magazine. About a little over 10 years ago, I had stumbled upon Okinawa, Japan, which is a small island about 800 miles south of Tokyo. It’s actually an archipelago. It has the longest disability free life expectancy in the world. In other words, people are living an extraordinarily long time, and avoiding the diseases that are killing Americans: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. I thought, Aha, there must be a good story as to why this has happened. This would be a good mystery. I got National Geographic and the National Institutes on Aging to fund the research, and we were off. Why Good Stories are the Trojan Horse to Winning Over Readers Kelton Reid: That’s amazing. Amazing. The Blue Zones research has uncovered these amazing strategies on longevity. You’ve been working on this for 16 years, is it now? Dan Buettner: Well, not quite 16, but over a decade for sure. The idea is we know that about 20% of how long you live is dictated by your genes. The other 80% is dictated by lifestyle and environment. If you can find places that are achieving the health and longevity outcomes we want, you should be able to reverse engineer what they’re doing. It took three years alone working with demographers to identify these five Blue Zones: Okinawa, Sardinia, Italy, the Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica, Icaria, Greece, and among the Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda, California. All of them are living measurably longest. Then we put together a team to reverse engineer it. We can go into anything you want. We found the diet, the ideal diet to live up to be 100. We found the constellation of social and sort of inner-self factors. At the end of the day, if you’re just viewing facts and figures, readers get bored in a hurry. I had to call upon the narrative skills I had developed over the years to embed these findings in good stories. They’re like the Trojan Horse to get into people’s psyche, and get them to internalize these ideas. That’s really the secret sauce for Blue Zones. Kelton Reid: Yeah. I’ve been reading The Blue Zones Solution, and you’re talking about these amazing ideas, and it’s true. It is kind of sinking in with these great stories you tell in there. Kudos, and I’ll definitely point listeners to that, The Blue Zones Solution, and all of your other work there. Where is the bulk of your writing out there? Is it The Blue Zones website, or do you have some other, aside from Amazon, places where listeners can connect and find it? Dan Buettner: Bluezones.com. If you search National Geographic, I’ve written three or four articles and three books with them. I did a very popular TED Talk if you don’t like to read. It has almost three million views, under Living to a hundred. The first book was just called The Blue Zones: Lessons From the Longest Lived People. That’s the story of finding these places, and what they teach us. Blue Zones Solution is another genre of science that deals with how you get lifestyle behaviors to stick. When it comes to longevity, there’s no short-term fix. Because there’s no pill, or genetic intervention, or hormone even on the scientific horizon. If you want to live longer, we identify nine things, nine facets that yield a longer life. You have to do them for not just a few weeks or months. You have to do them for decades. So Blue Zones Solution is really about how you set up your life so that longevity ensues, as opposed to the American ethos which is, Dammit, I’m going to get healthy, and then I’m going to schedule workouts and try to get on this diet. Both strategies almost never work. Blue Zones Solution attempts to harness what does work for the long term, and suggest a format to apply it. Kelton Reid: Yeah, it’s very important, the message here. Obviously, we’re here in the United States. We’re inundated with, as you note, the marketing piece of it as well as our societal issues. We live in definitely kind of a fast food nation, right? There are a lot of other pieces of the fabric of our culture that are very married to that, unfortunately. How a Decade of Research and Writing Became a Life-Saving Blueprint for American Cities Anyway, the book is truly compelling. There’s just so much great stuff in there, and it really does stick with you, and hopefully readers, that find it. You’re doing some other important work as well. Are you currently still doing the 20 city program to improve health here in America? Dan Buettner: Yes. If you look at the five Blue Zones and spry centenarians who live there, none of these guys who are standing on their head at 100, or women who are still doing Yoga at 106, ever said to themselves at age 50, “Well gol’darn it, I’m going to get on that longevity program and live another 50 years.” They didn’t get on diets or exercise. They live a long time because they live in the right environment. That was the big Aha. Again, instead of thinking about pursuing, think of how you shape our surroundings so that the healthy choice is not only easy, but unavoidable. There are four facets to these Blue Zones and living longer. One is being nudged into physical activity all day long. In Blue Zones, it’s about once every 20 minutes, they’re out gardening or walking. Their houses are de-convenienced. Number two, eating less. There’s all kinds of long-term strategies you can deploy to eat less at every meal. Big plates, no TV’s in your kitchen, etc. Eating more plants. Longest lived people are close to being vegans. Maybe a little fish, very little meat. They have a strong sense of purpose, and they hang out with other healthy people. We’ve come up with a city-wide template that sets up ubiquitous nudges and defaults in entire cities. We’ve been doing this for eight years. Our most successful cities are in Los Angeles, actually. Three cities called the beach cities: Redondo, Hermosa, and Manhattan Beach, where we’ve managed to lower the collective weight of 125,000 people by about 17%. Cut childhood obesity in half. Cut smoking by 30%. This will occasion probably three to four extra years of life expectancy per person on average, and tens of millions of dollars of health care savings. That’s simply by putting the wisdom of these long-lived cultures to work in America. Kelton Reid: It’s really, really amazing work. Kudos to you for all the successes that you ve had with it. It’s pretty staggering to see that those results are just amazing. That’s all I can say about that. But, I’d love to dig into your process a little bit as a writer. Are you presently working on a writing project? Dan Buettner: Yes, I’m working on a story for National Geographic magazine and a book. Both of them are a sort of a Blue Zones approach to happiness. I write every day. Kelton Reid: Awesome. Dan Buettner: Except weekends, when I goof off. Kelton Reid: You’re obviously putting in quite a bit of research. I know that you’ve got a team of people that have helped you in the past. How much time a day would you say you’re reading or doing research for this? Dan Buettner: I tend to focus just on research for a period, then I come back and I write the research I just did. I don’t try to research the whole book, but it’s kind of chapter by chapter. Then when I get in writing mode, I just pretty much stay. I try to write in the mornings. On an ideal day, it’s 8 in the morning until noon. After that, I’m burnt out. Lots of days, nothing comes. Some days it just gushes. Unless the seat of your pants is on the seat of the chair, you’re going to miss the gush. I try to be real disciplined by sitting, turning off the email server, turning off the phone, and just trying to put four focused hours in a day. Then I run the other work in the afternoon, the city work. The Coffee Shop Effect for Productive Writing Kelton Reid: Yeah. It’s interesting, I think, as writers, in the amount of time that you’re spending in solitude, I’d be interested in some of the parallels between The Blue Zones and The Blue Zones writer, which you kind of embody. Have you ever experimented with say, a standing desk or any other kind of things that get you more active while you’re actually sitting and getting words? Dan Buettner: Oh, interesting question. I have a standing desk at my Blue Zones office, but when I write, I like white noise. The noise inside of my head is far louder than the noise in a cafeteria or café. I go to a café where there’s white noise, where people don’t recognize me. I’ll just sit in a chair, and add caffeine to that, and I’m in pretty good shape. Kelton Reid: That’s cool. I know that you’re a big proponent of both green tea and coffee, so kudos, as am I. They keep me alive, I believe. Dan Buettner: Yeah. Kelton Reid: That’s cool. I think there is a well known psychological neuroscientific explanation for the coffee shop effect, which is that not only is that white noise or brown noise helping your brain somehow, but at the same time you’re seeing psychological cues from other people that look busy, so you feel like you are being busy because they’re being busy. It’s what neuroscience has called the mirror neuron effect. You mimic them when you see people typing. Then there’s something about other people watching you. It’s like you feel like the eyes on you are somehow, and I’m sure you recognize this as a journalist. Being around other journalists, you feel more productive because everyone’s working all the time. You know, maybe I’m … Dan Buettner: Yeah. That all makes great sense to me, but for me to sit in a corner in my house, to sit for four hours every day, it just sounds kind of sad and boring. Whereas at least when you’re in a café, you’re in the flow of life, and there are people. I think there’s an evolutionary joy that comes from camaraderie of others, even if you don’t necessarily know them. Every once in awhile, a small conversation will pop up to punctuate the morning. Maybe I’m just an extrovert and like people. First of all, I think people who tell you they love to write probably aren’t writers. I think true writers absolutely hate writing, but you can, I think, mitigate the pain by being with others, and maybe watching them suffer too. Kelton Reid: Yes, yes. One Great Trick for Beating Writer s Block Kelton Reid: Okay, so here’s the million dollar question. I’m sure you know the answer to this one already. Do you believe in writer’s block? Dan Buettner: Yeah. I experience it daily, several times a day. Kelton Reid: Perfect. Dan Buettner: I’ll tell you one trick. I just write through it. I force myself, and this is my own inner dialogue. I have to just sit with it. Other writers will say, “Well, go do something else.” If I go do something else, my mind will be off a million miles away. I have to sit with it and noodle through it. Often, maybe I won’t bust through it, but I’ll dent it enough that maybe the next day when I come back, I can break through the dent rather than just picking up where the block was. Kelton Reid: I like that. Dan Buettner: Yeah, you can’t let it beat you. You can’t surrender to it, in my opinion. Kelton Reid: That’s right. Let’s talk about your workflow a little bit. Are you a Mac guy or a PC guy? Dan Buettner: Mac. Kelton Reid: Are you working in Microsoft Word, Scrivener, other obscure … Dan Buettner: Word. Kelton Reid: Word, yeah. Dan Buettner: Word, but you know what? I’ll tell you something that works when I have writer’s block. There’s a few writer friends of mine who I have conversations with, and I’ll write them an email. If I can’t figure out how to noodle through this section, I’ll just sit down and write them a note like, “Hey Adam, I’m trying to get past this thing, and here’s what I’m thinking about.” I’ll start writing like I’m in a conversation, and before I know it, I’ve written it. I’ve written my way past the block. Then I just copy myself on it, and copy and paste and put in the text, and massage it back into the flow. Kelton Reid: Oh, I’ve heard that trick before from quite a few different fields of writers, including copywriters. Actually, computer programmers use a method called the rubber duck method where you put a rubber duck on top of your computer, and you explain the problem to them, that you’re having. Usually by the time you’ve explained it, you’ve already solved the problem. Dan Buettner: I love it. Kelton Reid: Yeah, it’s a fun one. Cool. Do you have any gold organizational hacks that you keep around that are good for writers to glom onto? Dan Buettner: What do you mean, organizational hacks? Kelton Reid: I don’t know. Just something in your workflow that you … A lot of writers, like the Evernote, or doing the voice to text, or you keep a notebook in your back pocket when you’re traveling the globe. How do you keep everything together and organized? Dan Buettner: I can type really fast, so I try to, for the most part, use original sources. Rather than finding it in a book or an academic paper, I’ll try to go interview the top expert, or find characters who embody the point I’m trying to make. I try to go see them. When I talk to them, I can type as fast as they talk. There’ll be some errors and so forth. I just spent 10 days in Singapore, and I did probably 30 interviews. I have over 100 pages, but it’s already written. It’s a lot easier then to take that written. Also, while I’m interviewing, if they’re droning on about something I don’t need to capture, I will capture the surroundings, so I have the context of what they’re wearing, and what it looks like, and what they feel like to be around. It gets a bunch of the work done ahead of time. Kelton Reid: Yeah, kind of brush strokes, and then the micro and macro thing. That’s cool. I like that. Okay, so how does Dan Buettner unwind at the end of a long writing or research day? Dan Buettner: Well, right after I hang up with you, I’m going to get on my bike and bike up a hill above Santa Barbara, and then I’m going to come back down and have happy hour with a red wine. That’s a pretty good reward for me. Kelton Reid: Fantastic. Okay. A couple of creativity questions for you. How do you define creativity, in your own words, your own estimation? Dan Buettner: Strategic serendipity. I don’t think you can force creativity. I think you can put yourself in a situation where it’s likely to happen. I think it comes when you reach that condition of flow. When you’re writing about something that interests you, and it’s one of those rare, gleeful streaks where time flies by, and almost a subconscious intelligence kicks in that allows you to almost surprise you. I’m a nonfiction writer, so I don’t rely on creativity as much as most of the real writers out there. Kelton Reid: I would friendly disagree. I think creativity is intrinsic to what you do, and what most writers do. It’s just expressed in a different way. Do you think you have a creative muse right now? Something that’s driving you? Dan Buettner: I’m intensely interested in what traditional peoples of the world can teach us about living better. That’s the general pursuit right now. Once you tease that out, how do you convey it in a way that will hold readers interest? And especially as attention spans condense, and people want shorter things, and right to the point, how do you keep the story component to it, but still convey interesting and accurate information that people can use? It’s less of a muse, and more of a process, I guess. Kelton Reid: Yeah, and one can say they are one and the same at times. What do you personally think makes a writer great? Dan Buettner: Keeping your ass to the seat, and keeping at it. I mean, there’s a handful of people who are the Mozarts and the Shakespeares, but most of us are craftsmen. The only way you get good at your craft is put in the cliched 10,000 hours. I really believe that. A great writer sticks at it for decades, and hones his or her craft, and doesn’t get dissuaded or sucked into the business of it too much, and stays true to their interests and their passions, and figuring out how to convey those passions to people who want to read about it. Kelton Reid: Yeah, aptly put. Do you have a couple of favs on your nightstand right now? Dan Buettner: I’m reading Eckhart Tolle right now, who wrote A New Earth. He’s done a good job at synthesizing Buddhist thought, and applying it. Herman Hesse, for me, is my turn-to writer when it comes to storytelling with content. Journey to the East is a great fable, or Siddhartha. They’re among my favs. Then of course, if I really need inspiration, I turn to Hunter S. Thompson and The Book of Revelation. Kelton Reid: Hunter redefines journalism, in a way, with his gonzo style. He kind of lived the opposite of the Blue Zone ethos. Dan Buettner: Yeah, of course he died young. Kelton Reid: Yes. Do you have a best loved quote hanging over your desk, like most writers do, something that you could share with us for inspiration? Dan Buettner: When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. Kelton Reid: And who said that? Dan Buettner: Hunter S. Thompson. Why Building Your Brand is So Important for Writers Kelton Reid: Thank you. All right. I know that we are short on time. You need to get on the bike, so we can skip the last few questions. Do you have some wisdom for your fellow scribes, or fellow writers on just how to keep going? How to keep the ink flowing, or the cursor moving, and avoid the dreaded block, as it were? Dan Buettner: Maybe segueing a little bit, what I’ve learned, freelance writing is so vastly underpaid. We’re becoming a commodity. You’re only as good as your last article. I’ve learned a long time ago that if you can create a brand, and write under a brand and build that brand, you’re better off in the long run than just being another name pitching stories. That’s, I think, something to think about, because at the end of the day a good brand … you know, Blue Zones, at the end of the day, was a brand under which I wrote about longevity. Now the brand is worth way more than I ever made with the books. That has been a powerful lesson to me, and one I’d share with other writers. Kelton Reid: Yeah. The brand is fantastic. The Blue Zones is not only inspiring, but important, I think. Before I point readers back to Blue Zones and your other writing, my final question to you is, as an Emmy award winning co-producer of this fantastic documentary that you did years ago, Africatrek? Is that the name of it? Dan Buettner: Yes. Kelton Reid: Do you have any plans to get back into TV? I noticed that National Geographic is changing their scope of their TV stuff. Are you doing anything with them on that, or is that in your rear view? Dan Buettner: Well, you have to make so many concessions to do TV. It’s so dumbed down. It’s not a place to necessarily make money. It’s neither a place for me to tell stories, nor a place to … My time is best spent elsewhere. What I do try to do is make sure when the books come out, that they’re going to be media worthy. Then I try to get the high profile daily shows, and the CNNs, and the FOX, to cover that. That TV publicity fuels the sales of the book. I’m not out there whoring it all the time, or myself on TV. It’s like I can do a project for a few years, and then come out, and do a big blast. I do pay attention to it. Making sure there are visuals to illustrate what you do in your writing, really helps drive book sales when your book comes out. That’s a worthwhile strategy I think. Kelton Reid: Awesome, awesome. The bestselling Blue Zones in all of its different iterations, including the most recent, The Blue Zones Solutions. We can find those at Bluezones.com. Is that right? Dan Buettner: Yeah, or Amazon. Kelton Reid: And Amazon of course. They’re pretty easy to find at this point. Dan Buettner, the brand, is all pervasive. You have been on Bill Maher, CNN, David Letterman, Good Morning America, Today, just amazing. You’re obviously practicing what you preach, and doing very well. Hey, thanks for coming on the show and chatting with us. Dan Buettner: It was great. I salute you for bringing writers together, and creating camaraderie and distilling the collective experience. Thank you for the honor. Kelton Reid: It was a true pleasure and I hope you come back, and we’d love to talk to you again. Dan Buettner: All right brother. Kelton Reid: Cheers. Dan Buettner: Cursors up. Kelton Reid: Okay. Have a good bike ride. Dan Buettner: Alright, see you. Kelton Reid: Bye. Thanks so much for joining me on another tour through the writer’s process.

Steve, Seth and Evan talk about shirt mullets while enjoying E.H. Taylor Seasoned Wood, 1992 Old Charter 7 year and Jefferson's Chef's Collaboration. They also discuss Ulyses S. Grant, Chris Penn, Keith Richards, Hunter S. Thompson, Johnny Depp and Harry S. Truman and the bourbon they enjoy(ed).
Juan F. Thompson is the guest. His new memoir, Stories I Tell Myself: Growing Up with Hunter S. Thompson, is now available from Knopf. I tore through Juan's book. Read it in like 24 hours. I'm a huge fan of Hunter. He's in my top 5 all-time. I think he's among the funniest writers America has ever produced. I've read most everything he wrote, and I've read about him at length, but up until a few days ago, I knew little about his son, whom I've always wondered about. What was it like to be him? It can be easy to think that the child of Hunter Thompson would automatically be some kind of savage hell-raiser, but in fact Juan comes off as the opposite. In reading about him lately, the word "monkish" keeps coming up. I wouldn't go that far, but I will say we didn't snort any cocaine during the interview. Nor did we detonate any homemade explosives, which kind of bums me out. In the monologue, I talk about Hunter. And I read an excerpt of a review of one of his books. Learn more about your ad choices.

In which, Andrew and Tracy revisit the topic of literary influences. We discover that most of Andrew’s are sci-fi books that have since been turned into movies, and that Tracy is a little too passionate about C. S. Lewis. Also we get sidetracked on Hunter S. Thompson, the libertarian views of Robert Heinlein, and the bizarre scientific theory that led six men to take a balsa wood raft from Peru to the Polynesian islands (a trip that took 101 days) in 1947.

The Nation magazine turned 150 this year, a striking achievement for a publication that is firmly on the left of the political spectrum. It was founded in 1865 just months after the Civil War ended and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. To celebrate a century and a half in print, the magazine has published a book on its history written by D. D. Guttenplan, a Nation correspondent based in London. The Nation: A Biography (The Nation Co., 2015) traces the tumultuous history of America’s oldest weekly from the causes and controversies that shaped it to the rebels, mavericks and visionaries who edited and wrote for it. Along the way, The Nation has featured the work of such notable people as Albert Einstein, Emma Goldman, Molly Ivins, I.F. Stone, Ralph Nader, Martin Luther King Jr. and Hunter S. Thompson. In this New Books Network interview, Guttenplan talks about how The Nation veered sharply right in its early years to become the voice of the eastern establishment and then, how it gradually regained its radical roots. He says though that The Nation has always been consistent on one great theme: its opposition to the growth of American Empire from conquests in Cuba, Hawaii and the Philippines in its early decades to the War in Vietnam and the invasion of Iraq in its later ones.

In GBA 123 we get better acquainted with Daniel Simpson. He talks about his experience trying to bring Ibiza to the Balkans in a story that involves being a journalist for the New York Times, drug smuggling, the Serbian mafia, Sonic Youth, and the conflict between idealism and egotism. We also get into both the wider politics that frame this story (the media, the Balkans, The War on Terror, The War on Drugs, Western Foreign Policy) and what he learnt personally about himself from his terrible experiences.
