PODCAST #68: Sean Wilsey


Colin Marshall talks with Sean Wilsey, author of the memoir Oh the Glory of It All, and co-editor of the collections The Thinking Fan's Guide to the World Cup and State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America. In his new volume of essays, More Curious, Wilsey investigates the artistic and social realms of Marfa, Texas, compulsively buys precision-engineered German appliances on Craigslist, investigates the causes of NASA's diminishing relevance to the national consciousness, and returns to his days as a Thrasher-reading San Francisco skater.
