Episode 32: The Electrician by Andrew Winslow and Jeff Muir

If you grew up in America during the late 70's or early 80's you will KNOW the world that is created in this week's read: The Electrician. Shelly is joined by Colleen Kennedy from Pott Farms and Jeff Muir, the co-author of this "bloated auto-bio novel" (ref: Cloud Atlas). Let's dive into The Electrician! This is being released on St.Patrick's Day 2020, which is fitting since the subtitle is, "From Altar Boy to Addict: Growing Up Irish Catholic in Blue-Collar Boston." It is a post-Vietnam, Irish Catholic coming of age story set in Beantown -- and features a bounty of drinking stories (but don't worry, it has a very hopeful ending). In our real lives, though, bars and restaurants are shut down now due to the Coronavirus, so Michiganders cannot gather and drink and scream like we are wont to on this day. some are handling it better than others. So join us during your self-quarantine as we talk innocence lost, addiction, honoring the working class through action figures, and the sexy, fast-paced world of small-town city council meetings. Oh, and dig the punk and funk-influenced playlist here:
