The Typing Life

EPISODE #212: THE TYPING LIFE, w/ GUEST MATT WELCH

We are releasing this beast from the Patreon Archives — where you can find many more Patreon-only/Patreon-first episodes. A month ago, our old friend & collaborator Matt Welch joined us by telephone from New York City to talk about a magical time in California. Between 1999 and 2002, a wave of “news bloggers” washed over the calcified Los Angeles media landscape, and the effects were both surprising and long-lasting. Your host Ken Layne was part of that strange time, along with Mr. Welch and a cast of dozens.

We ain’t whining about it, nor excessively celebrating it. Just telling funny stories from the turn of the century. This episode wasn’t on the radio, which it why it runs 35 minutes instead of the usual 28 minutes. Thanks for supporting this advertising-free podcast on our Patreon Desert Oracle page.
