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 73: Bobi Conn

Jul 16, 2020

Episode 73: Bobi Conn: It's not too often the Jam comes to you with this much accent. But author Bobi Conn stopped by the Bunker to talk with Brad about her book, In The Shadow of the Valley, a memoir about her life growing up in Appalachia, her escape from her violent upbringing, and her building a life outside of her small, rural town. There's a little bit of humor. A bit of down home storytelling. And a lot of wrangling with the legacy of Appalachia.
