Poe Ballantine is easily one of my favorite writers so to have him on the show is a huge thrill. He joins me to talk about his twenty something years as a drifter, the deterioration of culture and how obscurity may be the best route to fame. Poe's unique take on the world is thought provoking and challenging. This is one of my favorite conversations. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
