For this week's episode, host Jason Jefferies is joined by M. Randal O'Wain, author of the sensational new memoir Meander Belt: Family, Loss, and Coming of Age in the Working-Class South.  Topics discussed during part one of this two-part interview include Art Monsters, teaching at a Federal Correctional Institution, switching from writing fiction to writing non-fiction, James Frey, the infinite universe, and much more.  Signed copies of Meander Belt can be purchased in-person at Quail Ridge Books and online here (while supplies last).  Part two of this interview will be published next week.
