Episode#167 Interview W/ Jim Ruland author of Make it Stop!

We have many great writers in San Diego, perhaps one of the most
respected is Jim Ruland. While he has made a name for himself
writing books about punk rock, co-authoring Damaged the
autobiography of Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris, telling the
story of Bad Religion, and writing Corporate Rock Sucks THE BOOK
on SST Records the pioneering punk record label. In town, we know
Jim from his classic reading series Vermin on the Mount, which
gathered authors, poets, and performance artists. Jim is visible
at book events around town, where he often writes culture
articles for the LA Times.


Returning to Postcards from a Dying World Jim is here to talk
about his Sci-fi political thriller Make it Stop. In this
conversation, we talk about the idea behind the book, the
construction of the narrative, and much more. As always after a
spoiler warning we go deep. I hope you enjoy this conversation as
much as I did.
