Here it is—it’s from 2003!

In this episode of the podcast, Kevin welcomes Minneapolis-based writer Rachel Brougham to the virtual building where the two chat about being only children raised by MTV, her love of The Cure, her husband's love of Liz Phair, and trying to find the place where grief and joy can occur at the same time—and this happens to be the central theme of Brougham's memoir, Widowland, available from Black Hat Press.
