oh man I can't imagine how beautiful that would be in the upper peninsula

Absolutely loved this - Bill seemed very much at home with the hosts here, reflecting generously on the themes of grief, kindness, addiction and so on. Wonderful to have two hosts who gave Bill the respect of knowing and understanding his  work.

This is a great interview. Thank you so much for turning me on to this writer. It brings back memories of walking through the Tenderlion and thinking how easy it would be to make a couple of poor decisions, and I'd be right there. Reminded me of another friend who spent time riding the rails and my own time in Thailand. Seriously good shit. Warm, deep and sincere.

We’re joined by crypto-court reporter Jacob Silverman to talk about the first week of the trial of SBF, witness testimony, betrayal, parents, what makes a polycule and more.
