If there's one thing Bradley's learned from being alive for 50 years, it's to stop torturing himself about his flaws and shortcomings and mistakes — and to use writing as a way to work out what he thinks.  A candid conversation about his essay entitled "Reflections at 50."

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
