On this week’s edition of "The Freak Power Ticket" (Monday, 11am-noon PST, on KCSB 91.9 FM [kcsb.org]): my interview with Alex Gibney, the Academy Award-winning director of Taxi to the Dark Side -- about the US’s post-9/11 torture policies -- and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. We discuss the 2008 documentary, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, Gibney's biography of the celebrated journalist (and patron saint of my blogs and radio show). Gonzo was just released on DVD by Magnolia Home Entertainment. (To access my conversation with Gibney, click here.)
Monday’s complete broadcast also features further excerpts from a recorded dramatization of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” snippets from “The Gonzo Tapes” CD box set, readings from Thompson’s works, selections of music, and more in the way of audio séance magic.
