This episode was recorded and captured LIVE on Independent Bookstore Day (April 26, 2025) from Browsers' Bookstore in Albany, Oregon. 

Pete Dryden:

Photographer, cabinet maker, professional overthinker. Hiding out in Albany, Oregon—dodging small talk, chasing meaning in the grain and the frame. Restless mind, calloused hands, too many questions and never enough quiet.

Abe Richmond:

Owner of Browsers’ Bookstore. If spotted in the wild, he is reading totally tubular titles.

We talk about bookstores, Edward Abbey, Kathy Acker, Morrissey, Hunter S. Thompson and so much more.

Celebrate Independent Books & Bookstores!!!
