Tommy Orange

Tommy Orange is a Native American author whose novel, THERE THERE, explores the plight of Native Americans living the Bay Area as they face "challenges ranging from depression, alcoholism, unemployment and the adversity of living with an ethnic identity." Matt and Michelle are really feeling this book so join us this week as Tommy talks about the book and his writing process.

Also, your hosts got you covered with stories about the city of Austin stepping up when it comes to abating food waste, vanilla hummus and sex robot brothels. It’s a diverse palate this week.
