Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series .. On this episode, we talk with Former Journalist & Veteran Author Michael Castleman .. With more than 2 million new books published annually, each becomes a snowflake in Antarctica.

This has been a passion project he researched for 44 years and wrote, on and off, for 18 years. Beyond being a historian of publishing, he is the world’s most popular sexuality writer. His 19 books have sold more than 2.5 million copies. He grew up in a Long Island suburb of New York City and since 1975 he has lived in San Francisco. Along with the writing, he loves music. We cover that topic at length. Dig this story.
