The show is on hiatus for the summer, so I’m digging into the archives for some great episodes from the recent past. This episode, which aired in July of last year, is the first of two episodes I did with Litquake co-founders Jane Ganahl and Jack Boulware; this being the one with Jane. Litquake is a literary festival based in San Francisco. In 2017 Litquake featured 850 authors, had 14,300 attendees, and held 180 events, 86% of which were free. And that’s not even including the many Litquake spinoff events held in cities throughout the United States and abroad. I specifically dug this episode out of the archives now because Litquake is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, and while the main festival doesn’t happen until October, festivities are already underway. In this episode, I talk with co-founder Jane Ganahl about the organization’s origins, its incredibly successful namesake festival, its year-round initiatives, and much more.

Litquake co-founder Jack Boulware filled us in on what’s in store for this year’s San Francisco festival, October 11 - 20! Litquake is an annual literary festival started in 1999 in San Francisco that has since spread to cities throughout the country and abroad. The festival consists of readings, discussions, and themed events, and it’s heralded as the largest literary event west of the Mississippi. To date 7,100 authors and 145,854 attendees have participated in the festival.

Every year, we join forces with the amazing Litquake Literary Festival to bring you a night of stories told by authors and writers. Our theme for this show is ripped from the Talking Heads song “Life During Wartime,” and involves tales of explosive scenarios, epic struggles, and living each day like it could be your last. With Greg Milner, Laurie Notaro, D. Watkins, Jack Boulware, Eric Spitznagel, Bucky SInister, and Pamela Alma Weymouth. Hosted by Arline Klatte and Beth Lisick, with music by Marc Capelle. 

A crazy one: the first half is Tom in SF, interviewing ANTHONY BEDARD, JACK BOULWARE and DANNY PLOTNICK! The second half is Tom calling the studio to talk to AP MIKE, DUDIO and KRISTEN BARTLETT. Plenty of talk about Mike fainting at a Southside Johnny show and Tom's fear of being stabbed!

Litquake is proud to host the San Francisco launch of "All Ths Life," the newest novel by Joshua Mohr, which examines the dangerous intersection of reality and the imaginary, where coding and technology seek to highlight and augment our already flawed human connections. In conversation with Litquake co-founder Jack Boulware. Recorded live at Litquake’s Epicenter in San Francisco, and co-presented by Green Apple Books.

For three decades, Marc Maron has been writing and performing raw, honest and thought-provoking comedy for print, stage, radio, online and television. His WTF podcast has become a worldwide phenomenon, regularly hitting #1 on the iTunes charts, and his most recent essay collection is the bestselling "Attempting Normal." In conversation with Litquake executive director Jack Boulware. Recorded live at Z Space during Litquake: San Francisco's Literary Festival on October 12, 2014.

author and journalist Jack Boulware joins us this week in Austin, Tx to discuss the early 90's comedy scene in San Francisco, underground videos, sex tapes, and punk rock.

This episode was recorded in San Francisco. Jack Boulware has been one of my best friends in life since I lived in San Francisco in the early 1990s. He has been there for me through thick and thin and through the many ups and downs I have had in my life. Aside from being a true solid friend to me he has also been my intellectual guru who I talk with about comedy, books, movies and life. He is a deep well of knowledge that never fails to fill me up when I need guidance or just a volleying partner to dissect American and world culture with. He is a writer by trade and as such he has had a storied career that by any measurement scale equates him to be a true American bad ass. He was the main features writer for the SF Weekly for 8 years, he has written countless travel pieces for the world's most respected magazines, he has written several books and most notably, he is the cofounder of Litquake, San Francisco's most prestigious literary festival. I'm thankful that such a cyclone of knowledge and Steve McQueen cool is one of my best friends in life and it is my pleasure to present to you now, the one and only Mr. Jack Boulware.

If you've ever been a mindless drone in the workplace being yelled at by an irate customer or been an irate customer exasperated by the incompetent boobery of the American workforce, then you won't want to miss this episode of the Nest of Vipers. Working the phone lines at Play Station on Christmas morning, being the a/v tech dude at a proctologist convention, being a bag boy in a retirement community, and dealing with couriers that lose your priceless packages are just some of the customer service problems dissected this episode. Anthony Bedard (musician, Hank IV), Bucky Sinister (author, All Blacked Out and Nowhere To Go), Jack Boulware (author SF Bizarro), and host Danny Plotnick recount tales of customer service hell.

If you're like us, you love to eat. This week, our well-fed team of "fundits" share frighteningly memorable stories of the culinary variety. Stories of knife-wielding hash slingers, vomiting mothers, rancid and wriggling eels, and delectably teeny lambs' brains are served up for your listening pleasure. Guests include writer Jack Boulware (SF Bizarro), food critic Bonnie Wach (SF Chronicle) and musician Anthony Bedard (Hank IV). Hosted by filmmaker Danny Plotnick.

Everybody loves to travel. But for every fantasy of the perfect vacation lurks the very real possibility of a journey gone haywire. In this episode, our team of world-weary travelers recount bizarre tales including a 50 hour bus ride filled with racial tension, a poodle and a bottle of Perrier, a sixteen year old crusty, hippie-punk passed out in the Jamaican mud at the Reggae Sunsplash, a pathetic Xmas yarn featuring a Blues Brothers cover band and a bus stuck on a snowy mountain pass, and a mad dash from Sacramento to San Francisco in a car falling apart mile by mile. Guests Include Anthony Bedard (musician, Hank IV), Jack Boulware (author, Sex American Style), Natalija Vekic (filmmaker, Lost and Found). Hosted by filmmaker Danny Plotnick.
