Douglas Bales on the Rhythm of the Streets
Alex Greenwood sits down with author and musician Douglas Bales to delve into his compelling book, "Maximum Taxi," which offers a raw, firsthand account of his adventures and misadventures as a taxi driver. The conversation steers through Bales' journey from the driver's seat to the writer's desk, highlighting the therapeutic and confessional aspects of his occupation.
As they navigate the gritty backstories and high-risk moments in Bales' driving career, the two also explore the immeasurable value of storytelling as a vessel for empathy and understanding.
Bales teases his upcoming venture, "Rock and Roller Coaster," a semi-fictional take on his tumultuous life in the music industry. Tune in to discover the intricate ways in which life's harshest realities can transform into its most compelling narratives.
