Longtime readers know I’ve been a fan of Roger Hobbs for years, and both of his novels have easily made Alabama Liberal’s Top Ten Books of the Year list. He was nice enough to have a wide-ranging conversation where we discuss his mysterious central character, influences (from other authors to Michael Mann), where to visit in Asia,… Read More »
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.… Read More »
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… Read More »
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.… Read More »

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… Read More »
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… Read More »
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… Read More »
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,… Read More »
