Grimme Tidings: A Notorious High School Newspaper

In this episode of American Miles, host Josh Colvin talks with former schoolmate Adrian Alvi about Grimme Tidings, the subversive underground newspaper he published in high school, the trouble it caused, and the school board's campaign to shut it down. Josh also catches up with Trucker Andy somewhere in Illinois. Later, Josh reads his own essay about running a roadblock, and artist and writer Justin Parpan reads his essay, “The Last Time I Saw That Pizza Hut,” a reflection on memory, permanence, and what is actually lost.
