Radical: A Memoir of Wars, Communists & Work

Political philosophy and one’s education, both formal and informal, can lead a person on unimagined paths that are woven into stories of that person’s life. Mel Fiske, author of the book, “Radical: A Memoir of Wars, Communists & Work,” is our guest in this edition of Radio Curious. Mel was radicalized after a 15,000 mile journey across America during the Depression. That trip opened his eyes to a life he never knew existed growing up in New York City.

Mel Fiske recommends, “Bayou Farewell,” by Mike Tidwell.
