Our listener from Boston checks in this week, as Ryan Walsh spins the wheel. Ryan wrote one of my favorite books of recent years, "Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968." Naturally we talk Van Morrison, but a certain psychedelic jug-band cult leader ends up dominating the conversation.
Ryan brings in the mini-epic "My Country", and we discuss the impact of TV (good and bad) on the modern American family. Dan puts out the challenge to find the My Country Bank Commercial, and Ryan gives us a history of the cost of a pay-phone call in the U.S. It's more fun than I'm making it sound.
Thanks Ryan!
