The Typing Life: Warren Zevon, 9/11 & the California Bloggers (With Matt Welch)

Well here's an episode that fits with the past couple of episodes, as your host Ken Layne dredges up some tales from too many decades as a writer & whatever else. We got our newspaper/podcaster pal Matt Welch on the line to talk about the turn-of-the-century sensation that got everybody very excited for a little while: Weblogs! It sort of became a long career for a lot of people, and many have never quite recovered. We'd like to think that we recovered just fine. (Back to the desert on our next episode, don't worry.)Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/desertoracleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
