Americans at the Edges: Ted Conover Interview

Americans at the Edges: Ted Conover Interview

In this episode of American Miles, host Josh Colvin engages in a conversation with immersive journalist Ted Conover, exploring themes of freedom, community, and the human experience. Conover shares his unique approach to journalism, which involves living the stories he tells, whether it's working as a prison guard, hopping freight trains, or living off-grid in Colorado. The discussion delves into the realities of prison life, the romanticized notion of hobo culture, and the challenges and rewards of off-grid living. Josh and Trucker Andy talk about Michigan culture and writer Tony Woodlief reads his essay Home From the Outside. Finally the show closes with a cool song from Clay Street Unit.
