Jarrod Shanahan joins us to discuss his latest book, "Every Fire Needs A Little Bit Of Help: A Decade Of Rebellion, Reaction, And Morbid Symptoms," out now on PM Press. After some fond reminiscing, Jarrod discusses his writing practice and how he incorporates criticism of cultural products like Hellraiser, Mad Max, and The Walking Dead into his work and life. We also get Jarrod's take on a number of issues of the day, including organizational forms, the recent DSA victories, and those darling sweethearts who climbed the Empire State Building. Plus: did Lil' Wayne write the most honest prison memoir of all time?
