Henry Rollins
The Apology podcast is back, and with such a guest! Henry Rollins, the musician, author, radio DJ, and actor, is here to speak with your host Jesse Pearson about many book-related topics such as his yearly re-reading of The Stooges history, obscure Stalin-era Russian writers, seeking solace in libraries as a youth, and managing his reading and writing time as mortality looms ever on the horizon. An inspiring and uplifting episode, and one we are sure you'll savor. Thanks for listening!
