Luke Burbank on coming clean
On The Thread podcast, books are just the beginning. Host Kerri Miller talks with comedians, scientists and other big thinkers about how books and reading have shaped their lives.
Public radio veteran Luke Burbank is the first to admit he isn't a big reader. But if you meet at a party — cocktail in hand — you might hear a different, slightly less true story.
It was fitting, then, that Burbank and Kerri Miller talked about Hunter S. Thompson — an author who also knew that a little exaggeration can go a long way. Burbank talked about "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," and why he's embarking on a "radical honesty" campaign.
