Craig Finn joins me on today's episode, telling us all about working at a a finance company in Minneapolis during Lifter Puller, the shift in his life when they were getting busier, booking their tours using a payphone, forming his identity as a writer, moving to New York, getting a job at a webcasting service, finding himself more in NY, starting The Hold Steady for pure fun, their community fanbase and the energy that informs it, how the band operates today with their yearly schedule, and lots more. Thanks to Jay Taylor :)
