From Working-Class Glasgow to the New York Times: Interview With Jamie Lafferty

from Travel Writing Podcast · host The Travel Writing Podcast

In this episode, Scottish travel writer Jamie Lafferty discusses why travel writing is anything but "leisurely" work, how coming from a working class background shaped the trajectory of his career and the stories he chooses to write, why he loves to interview “upper class” people, and how a trip to cover every prefecture in Japan after the 2011 tsunami shifted the way he thought about his work and the impact it could have.
