First Time First Blood - Eden Robins
Explicit
In the grand tradition of underemployed artists, Eden Robins has been: a singing waitress, a dildo salesman, a dental assistant, an abortion clinic receptionist, and a Swahili teacher, and is currently a comedy writer for big pharma. She usually writes fiction, some of which you can find online, and she is the co-host of the Chicago live lit series Tuesday Funk, as well as half of the weekly podcast Should I Worry About This?. She blogs rarely at monkeythumbs.com and tweets with some frequency @edenrobins.

Dylan Peterson talked with Courtney about spending time in Chicago to record an album at the Wilco loft, trying to not upset Mikal Cronin with his album name, and the most nappable PBS shows.
