Tim Cahill is one of the best writers of his generation. His work is funny, surprising, and deep. I first read him back in the 80s, when I was a young dirtbag hitchhiking to Alaska in search of adventure and a disgusting job. (Found both.) He's inspired generations of writers, travelers, and humorists.
Here's a link to Tim's conversation with Kyle Thiermann.

0:28.2 | Hi Chris, this is Shay coming at you from Hastings, Nebraska, where I live with my wife and my daughter. |
0:39.2 | I'm coming at you today from inside the infrared sauna we have at the gym that I run. |
0:46.2 | But earlier today I just finished listening to the episode of You and Your Mom. |
0:54.2 | And I lost my mom when I was 15 to suicide. |
1:01.2 | I'm almost 30 now, so it's been about 15 years. |
1:04.2 | But I was home earlier doing the dishes as I was listening to you guys' conversation. |
1:09.2 | And I just couldn't help but think, wow, what would it be like if I were able to have that conversation with my mom now going through all of the things that I went through? |
1:20.2 | I mean, she could meet my daughter. It would just be crazy. But I was just overwhelmed with emotion because I really identified with how you said a lot of times we view the person just as a role they play in the family and not in a 360 degree way. |
1:38.2 | I think that they're a real person all the time even when they're not around us. And I think for the first time listening to your conversation with you and your mom allowed me to do that. |
1:48.2 | So 15 years later, thanks to your podcast, I think it's going to allow me to start to process some more stuff. |
1:54.2 | So I just want to say thank you so much. I really love that conversation. I love the podcast. Keep doing what you're doing. |
2:02.2 | Hey, Chris, this is Liz here. I'm a Rhode Island native, but I've been traveling around Europe and the Middle East the last few years and recently came back to Rhode Island and started a new relationship. |
2:16.2 | And a big part of that relationship has actually been listening to podcasts together. And yours is one of those podcasts that lead us into really cool, interesting discussions ourselves. |
2:27.2 | We often have to pause your podcast to talk about something and then come back to it. And yours are always really great for us to listen to. |
2:36.2 | We were just taking along the long trail and Appalachian Trail in Vermont at the top of killing to mountain, listening to your most recent episode with Andrew. |
2:45.2 | And that was that was a really great one to listen to as we tried to escape some of the craziness for a few days as well. |
2:54.2 | So thank you for everything you're putting out looking forward to listening tomorrow and shout out to my boyfriend John on this one. Thanks so much. Have a good one. |
3:05.2 | All right. Thank you guys. Thank you very much. Shay Liz, shout out to John, the boyfriend. |
3:12.2 | Congratulations, John. Liz sounds fantastic. |
