He's been called America’s best known (and funniest) adventure travel writer, a Working-Class Hero, The Godfather of Travel Writing, the Wise Guy of Travel Lit Lite, an apostle of irreverence, and a Mishap Maestro. I just call him Tim. Freaking. Cahill. Tim's why many of us write about travel.
In Part 1, Tim talks about law school, new journalism, pissing off a chef at the Mark Hopkins, his foray into investigative journalism and spending "3 years in the sewer" of John Wayne Gacy's mind, his partner, Nancy Kessler, and a bunch of other stuff.
Tune in for a great conversation with the man who took a certain kind of story telling out of the realm of men's true adventure magazines and into literature.
