Show Notes
Linda Tirado is a writer who catapulted to online fame after a casual, righteously enraged message board comment went mega-viral. Within weeks she had a book deal, TV appearances, agents, and a lot more attention than she had ever asked for or wanted. Her book, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America, captures a working class voice that's rarely heard in mainstream American media, and her experience with internet celebrity reflects the often terrifying ways that class functions in media culture.
