As I take a few extra days to prepare my bombshell Bob Dylan adventure, allow me to introduce my other podcast THE BACK WALL, a raunchy and reactionary psychedelic sports show I co-host with Glen Rockney of Rare Candy fame.

The ep features John Ziegler, former LA talk radio host and the central character in David Foster Wallace's excellent feature story The Host, who torpedoed his career to prove that ex Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky is innocent.

Feeling severed from the world? Trapped inside your own hundred acre wood? Tie your shoes. On this tour, we go in circles around a city where nothing is lost that can't be found, where nothing is erased without imprint. We wander story-laden streets, peek down literary alleys, poke our heads into sing-song pubs. We navigate inconvenient sympathies. We recognize a tune. To signal traffic in the narrative chaos, we trust the time-honored cues of the theater. We discuss a movie about a real place that doesn't exist. We go bump bump bump, and begin to construct a fresh map of reality, out of tea leaves long unread...

Communist pizza, libertarian hotdogs, Hitler-Stalin lovemaking and other shocking scenes pass us by as Thaddeus Russell (author of A Renegade History of the United States) gives me a tour of his politically-charged boyhood in Berkeley...until we save him "thousands on therapy" and stumble upon the one question no revolutionary mama wants to face. Part Four of the San Francisco Quartet. If you like what you hear, subscribe on patreon.com/filthyarmenian to experience the full twisted adventure with multiple patron-only episodes each month.
