246. - Nico Walker

Nico Walker is a writer currently living in Oxford, Mississippi. His debut novel Cherry was written on a typewriter from prison while serving time for bank robbery. We chat about small-town life, spiritual energy, reggae cover bands, getting released the day quarantine started, why you shouldn’t have a flip phone at the halfway house, what TV shows are popular in jail, why you shouldn’t cross someone named Bullet, becoming a reader, Russian humor, MP3 players, the process of writing his new book, and we put Nico on the spot for a good clean jail joke. twitter.com/donetodeath twitter.com/themjeans --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/howlonggone/support Learn more about your ad choices.
