Writers talk about reading. Hosted by Tod Goldberg, Julia Pistell, and Rider Strong.
Today, Julia, Rider, and Tod discuss three articles from Alta Magazine, the publication based in California that focuses on news, history, literature, and culture, with a decidedly Western bent. Its founder, William Hearst III, declares it to be "a literate magazine that serves as a counterpoint to the New Yorker."
Articles discussed:
"The Accident on the Pacific Crest Trail" by Louise Farr, about the tragic death of a hiker
"When the Mafia Came to Lodi" by Andrew Dubbins, about the mafia's attempt to infiltrate California and the undercover case that took them down
"The Search of a Lifetime" by Julian Smith, about a woman investigating a cold case of her grandfather's murder
