I know I promised not to post new stuff, and I’m not, but some of you may enjoy today’s episode of the Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em podcast, which I cohost with Sarah Hepola and which we started to do in video last week. (YouTube channel coming; please subscribe, it’s free!)

Nick, poet and author of the memoir Another B******t Night in Suck City - which became the movie Being Flynn - is a great friend and delightful in every way.

This is the first 20 minutes of the episode. For notes and links and hot box picks (mine this week is my favorite book in a long while), head over to the Smoke ‘Em site and become a subscriber. Or click the clicky, which will take you there xx
