Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane

In this episode of the W.W.A.A. Podcast the host Kristy Mickelsen talks with her guest Author Jeff Giles, an experienced culture writer and editor who's been featured in a long list of publications including Paste Magazine, the Village Voice, American Songwriter, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Rotten Tomatoes, Jeff Giles makes his debut as a novelist with Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane.

Although it's his first novel, Langley Powell is Jeff's third book, following Llanview in the Afternoon: An Oral History of One Life to Live and Uncle John's Beer-Topia: A Heady Brew of Beer Miscellany. He can also be heard regularly as the co-host of the long-running Record Player podcast with Matt Wardlaw. When Jeff isn't working on his next project, he's probably either running off yesterday's calories or playing guitar (badly).

Kristy and Jeff talk about a variety of topics including how writing can or can not be therapeutic when life seems to throw us curveballs.

Jeff lives in New Hampshire with his wife, two children, and a pair of dogs. For even more of his writing, subscribe to his Jefitoblog newsletter or follow him on most social media platforms. you can also follow the host Kristy Mickelsen on all social media platforms including
