S2E01 – Jon Tribble (KFC & Blue Collar Work)
The new season of The Lit Fantastic is now airing on KBOO 90.7 Portland Community Radio (we’ve moved from podcast to radio, but will still have old and new episodes archived online at KBOO.fm, SoundCloud, and on iTunes).
Our season opener is an hour-long conversation with poet and editor Jon Tribble in which we discuss KFC, the cult of Colonel Sanders, and blue collar work in America. Also featuring some fascinating trivia about KFC (and a surprise or two if you listen all the way to the end).
