It’s been a loooong time since I posted a new interview here on the site (although the archives have plenty of great ones if you haven’t read them…just saying), but an idea pretty much fell into my lap this week when I released that one of my good friends is an inspector for the USDA….

Waaaaaay back in April (4.20 to be exact) I interviewed a marijuana user, and I thought it might be fun to add a few questions to that, now that there has been so much change on this issue recently. Nothing major, just a few new questions in the beginning, and then re-posting April’s interview below…

Welp, it was bound to happen. After nearly a year and a half of toiling away in anonymity, struggling to turn this blog into the next “great non-fiction book!” (I mean, we all know “Shit My Dad Says” was a masterpiece that Bubba’s Sex Tips could only dream of rivaling) Alabama Liberal has gone Hollywood….

Today brings a short(er) interview than what most people are used to from this section, partly due to short notice and partly because potheads don’t want to talk that much. I’m kidding. Actually, I’ve known today’s interview subject for a while and thought it would be a good idea to talk about one of the…

Once again, I’m throwing out some lessons learned through the different sections I run on the site. And today brings what Interviews with the Invisible taught me…[Man, I have to admit this a great way to fill space.] 5. Someone Doesn’t Have to Be Famous to Be Interesting, In Fact It Helps If They Aren’t…

Today brings a relatively quick interview with an Alabama worker who found themselves out of a job when their workplace got outsourced to Honduras. It’s not an uncommon story as more and more American manufacturing jobs have been completely moved to exploit cheap labor in Asia and Latin America, and a record number of Americans…

Today brings something a little different with the interview section, but, seeing as how there hasn’t been a new interview in a month, I don’t think anyone will mind. [Fortunately, I’m talking to a couple of new people to get interviewed in December, so there are some new ones on the horizon.] I’m reposting the…

Today we’re joined by a good friend of mine I’ve known for years. His current job is at Wal-Mart but isn’t interested in being named as the big W is pretty much the poster child for workplace retaliation. He’s here to talk about exactly what it’s like to work for the nation’s largest private employer,…

Today I sit down with former interview guest (“The Pollster”), the great Jeffrey Ioimo, our resident political analyst in Alabama. He’s here to help make sense of Alabama’s illegal immigration bill, the debt ceiling fiasco, the GOP presidential race, and what Obama can do to boost his sagging poll numbers, if you can make any…

Today we’re joined by Vanessa, a woman who’s here to talk about being overweight in a society obsessed with skinny women, the beauty industry, what’s in the food to make us fat, and if the food/weight loss industries are really being responsible by encouraging us to eat trans fat and then have to work extra…

Today we’re joined by our very first interview guest and the only one to be interviewed twice (so far). He’s here to talk about all the new laws targeting teachers and what that does for someone like him going to school to become a teacher. It completes the unofficial “Teacher trilogy” of interviews that started…
