but during my research i come back around and somebody will send me a post or something so i've been

aware of him so i'm delighted to have him on the show to talk about his most recent book which is superb

i really read through most of it like two-thirds of it today. Title of the book is The Endless American Midnight Dispatches from the Secret Sun.

And it was originally published in 2020.

I think he updated it recently.

And he's done just superb research and talk to people.

I wish I had talked to like he has a conversation with Bobby Buzole, who I research for some of my work.

But his full bio is at the end of this book.

I'm just going to read through it in some of the other books he's written.
