Journalist-turned-novelist Ken Fireman joins us to discuss The Unmooring, his gripping historical novel set in the turbulent 1960s. Drawing from his own activism—from civil rights protests to the 1968 Democratic Convention—Fireman explores the era’s political and social upheaval and its relevance today.

We dive into his writing process, the challenges of blending history with fiction, and his Substack Liticisms. Plus, what’s next for him and where to find his work.
