For a Living

For a Living is taking an indefinite hiatus. I might post episodes sporadically. I might even roll out Season 11 in 2024. I'm grappling with all this as I type these very words. We'll see. For now, I just want to thank all of you who have been listening and supporting this project. This podcast and your support has made my world a better place.

Mike and I discussed many things, including:

Mike recommends you read American Pastimes: The Very Best of Red Smith.
