This oral history of the 'Village Voice' captures its creativity and rebelliousness Tricia Romano's The Freaks Came Out To Write chronicles the passion and talent that made a great American newspaper β€” and the forces that killed it.

I'm still greatful. I know I am almost ruined for any future book release (if I ever write another one), because the calvacade of press for this book will be unmatched. Listen more here: www.npr.org/2024/03/04/1...

She had gotten her start there and you don't soon forget the first time you see your name in print, back when print was King. I remember when this was making the rounds on air, I heard from people I hadnt heard from in years--the reach of NPR and Maureen Corrigan is just that far flung and powerful

Last year, when we first got wind that THE Maureen Corrigan at @NPR would be doing a review of the book, it sent everyone into a delirious tizzy. When the glowing review came out, it did not disappoint. Like many of the reviewers, Corrigan had a personal relationship with the Voice.

This is the kind of book that makes an essential dog eared paperback [extreme complimentary]

Loved this book, in part because so many of the people interviewed can’t resist mentioning how cheap their rent was.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.
