  • Mikko Macchione on Gonzo, New Orleans, and why the beats never got Gonzo

    Mikko Macchione on Gonzo, New Orleans, and why the beats never got Gonzo
    2025/07/16
    Gonzo journalist and historian Mikko Macchione joins Curtis Robinson and Christopher Tidmore to talk about experiences near and great with Hunter S. Thompson in New Orleans and why the city influenced him. We talk about a piece of Gonzo journalism that is about to be reprinted that actually kicked off the Gonzo school of writers in New Orleans. We also talk "The Rum Diary" with Mikko, appropriate since he is the author of several books on the subject, including "New Orleans Rum: A Decadent History." (Signed copies available at www.gardendistrictbookshop.com.) Curtis chimes in on editing that book with Hunter and going to Puerto Rico for the making of the movie.
