Juliette Mirandawww.theunwritablerant.com
Join author and occasional misanthrope Juliette Miranda for bourbon-soaked personal stories and celebrity interviews. From misadventures working in the music industry, dating disasters and an incautious life with "her guy," Juliette knocks back 30 minutes of relatable, revealing, and comically real stories. She occasionally invites top comedians, actors, and musicians to join her and share their own stories about life and more. Every episode is paired with a short bourbon review, because all good stories should come with a side of booze.

Ep 203 - Interview with Leif Garrett

My guest on the show is teen idol Leif Garrett. He's just released his first book, "Idol Truth," which details his career as a singer and actor, as well as his experiences as an addict. Y'all, this interview was so much fun! Leif is honest and open, and we talk about music, writing, a road trip he once took with Jason Bateman, his friendship with Hunter S. Thompson, and what his plans are for the future. I hope you have as much fun listening as I did talking to Leif.
