Calvin Hennick jokingly calls his memoir, ONCE MORE TO THE RODEO, "every thought I've ever had," and the book touches on fatherhood, manhood, race, family, alcohol, baseball, and countless other topics, all considered on a road trip to his childhood hometown with his young son. He talks to James about having the memoir roundly rejected until it won the Pushcart Press Editor's Award, walking around naked in front of the reader, and not solving all of the world's problems. Plus, the legendary Bill Henderson of Pushcart Press. - Calvin Hennick: https://twitter.com/calvinhennick?lang=en Buy ONCE MORE TO THE RODEO: Buy ONCE MORE TO THE RODEO Calvin and James discuss:  The Chunky Monkeys  THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE Grub Street Boston Red Sox  Adam Jones  Baltimore Orioles Curt Schilling  Fenway Park  GET OUT dir by Jordan Peele  Cooperstown, NY  Baseball Hall of Fame  PLEASANTVILLE dir by Gary Ross  Jackie Robinson Millicent Bennett Grand Central Publishing  Pushcart Editor's Prize  Bill Henderson  APOCALYPSE NOW dir by Francis Ford Coppola  BUSINESS INSIDER  Alex Marzano-Lesnevich Chip Cheek  Whitney Scharer  Jenn DeLeon  THE BODY PAPERS by Grace Talusan  Franz Kafka  James Joyce  - Bill Henderson: http://pushcartprize.com/ Buy THE PUSHCART PRIZE ANTHOLOGY: Buy the PUSHCART PRIZE ANTHOLOGY Bill and James discuss:  THE KID THAT COULD  THE PUBLISH IT YOURSELF HANDBOOK by Bill Henderson  The Pushcart Prize  Anais Nin  Buckminster Fuller  Ralph Ellison  Joyce Carol Oates  Doubleday  THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW PUBLISHERS WEEKLY  Mattel Toys  Random House  WW Norton & Co.  ESQUIRE  Central Park  ONCE MORE TO THE RODEO by Calvin Hennick Little, Brown  Millicent Bennett  POETS & WRITERS  Cooperstown  Fenway Park  Boston Red Sox  WASHINGTON POST  YOU ARE NOT A GADGET by Jaron Lanier  GARDEN STATE by Rick Moody  THE TALE OF THE RING: A KADDISH: A PERSONAL MEMOIR OF THE HOLOCAUST by Frank Stiffel  A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER: THE GREAT HAMPTONS HURRICANE OF 1938 by Genie Chipps Henderson  - http://tkpod.com / tkwithjs@gmail.com / Twitter: @JamesScottTK/ Instagram: tkwithjs / Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tkwithjs/
