Author and publisher Brad King hosts The Downtown Writers Jam Podcast, an hour-long, one-on-one interview program with some of your favorite authors.

We don’t talk about themes or the writing process. Instead, we have the kind of discussions writers have when are readers aren’t around. We talk about the events that shaped us growing up, current affairs, and why we write about what we do.

Episode 34: Keri Leigh Merritt

Dec 13, 2018

We live in a time when race and class have smashed together in ways that threaten to tear about the social fabric. Historian and author Keri Leigh Merritt has written one of the best books on how we got here. Her book Masterless Men explains the how the social and economic fabric of the “white working class” came to be. And in our interview, she talks about what we need to do to get out of the mess we’re in today.
