Discussed[edit]
Welcome to our first Premium Extrasode! This wonderful couple of hours or so shines a spotlight on Jeff Guinn's incredible book, MANSON: The Life and Times of Charles Manson. Join Guinn, Julie, Jake Fogelnest and Chris "Spoony" Spooner as we delve into the cultural history of the 1960s and who gets to write it, the context that gave Manson his opportunity, and a lot of stories about Dennis Wilson.
Plus: what our Manson nicknames would be, which (maybe only) part of the book Charles Manson himself probably would have liked, the racism of public transportation, just how bad Manson's music was, the John Waters/Manson connection, and so much more.
Even if you're not a teenager in your "serial Killer phase," I swear, this is essential and fascinating listening. Enjoy it.
Trivia[edit]
This is the very first Premium Extrasode. Julie first mentioned the book on Episode 132: "Julie Klausner on a Citi Bike Dot Com".
