My friend John Kiriakou stops by to chat about his experiences in the CIA, going to prison for whistleblowing and getting out and writing several books. John blew the whistle on the torture program called enhanced interrogation techniques during the war on terror post 9/11. We also chat about the CIA’s history of shame and violence. John has not only been a spy, whistleblower and convict, he is also an incredibly talented writer and storyteller. A great conversation with a unbelievably brave human being.

Traveling and surviving like barnacles on the hull of society is undoubtedly a hard and depressing journey but adversity always yields the most amazing and hilarious stories.
Sex Workers, Hobos, Circus Freaks, Hippies, Inventors, Artists, Musicians, Crazy People and anyone interesting occasionally stop by and have long form conversations with me. Most telling stories from their adventures and travels but also topics ranging from past to future.
Everyone I know has a story to tell and I am always to excited to talk with someone new. Random stories of debauchery and survival in a society that doesn’t value compassion and creativity. The flowers that grow between the cracks in the street have a story to tell.
