Tosh and Kimley discuss "A Voice of the Warm: The Life of Rod McKuen" by Barry Alfonso. Rod McKuen was a bestselling poet (an oxymoron if ever there was one!) and singer-songwriter/recording artist. In the 1960s and 70s he was at the summit of the mainstream pop cultural zeitgeist. He was generally loathed by critics and the serious literary community and yet after discussing this book we have concluded that Rod McKuen is an essential cultural link to all that we hold dear.Theme music: "Behind Our Efforts, Let There Be Found Our Efforts" by LG17 This is a public episode.
