Writing About R.E.M. with John Hunter

Adam sits down with author John Hunter to discuss his book, Maps and Legends: The Story of R.E.M..

Adam and John chat about all things R.E.M., and explore why he wrote the book, what the book encompasses, and the challenges in tackling such a wide-reaching story.

They also touch on the differences in fandom today, online music discourse, and John’s Top 10 R.E.M. songs!

Our next episode is out on Monday June 10th and will begin our deep-dive into Out of Time, the seventh album by R.E.M..

Maps and Legends: The Story of R.E.M. by John Hunter is available now in paperback in the US, and as an eBook in the rest of the world!
