Episode description

We sit down this week with David Jacob Kramer, author of Heads Together to talk about the underground press culture of the 60's and 70's. At a time when artists, psychedelic explorers, and activists came together to optimistically smoke pot and push back against government control, we saw an explosion of creative material hit the streets. As ephemeral as newsprint is, some of these publications survived long enough for Kramer to go digging through the archives and share the best-of-the-best. We talk about the state of microfiche, how digging through records became a career, and how hoarding old newspapers is actually a righteous act of rebellion. Grab some loose-leaf, twist one up, and join us for this illustrative trip through the archives.
