In this episode, Tanner and Kathryn speak with guest author Edward McPherson about his new collection of essays, The History of the Future, from Coffee House Press. The collection is a sprawling vision (or warning) of the future, influenced heavily by place, history, and memory. McPherson talks to our Loft Podcast regulars about bomb shelters, dinosaur bones, the underground railway system in New York City, and so much more. Listen in for a fascinating discussion.
