The Village Voice, founded in 1955, is widely credited as the first alternative weekly newspaper, or alt-weekly. The big show this week is all about the rise and fall of the alt-weekly—the type of off-beat, fearless publication that, once-upon-a-time, you could pick up on a street corner in cities across the country. For the mid-week podcast, Micah interviewed <a href="https://triciaromano.com/">Tricia Romano</a>, the author of a new oral history titled, <a href="https://www.perseusbooks.com/titles/tricia-romano/the-freaks-came-out-to-write/9781541736399/">The Freaks Came Out To Write: </a><a href="https://www.perseusbooks.com/titles/tricia-romano/the-freaks-came-out-to-write/9781541736399/">The Definitive History of the Village Voice, the Radical Paper that Changed American Culture</a>. Their conversation about this legendary New York publication was wide-ranging, and too long for the radio. And too profane for the radio. So we’re bringing you a longer, uncensored version here. Don’t listen to this one with kids.
