Reading Room 001 :: Anna-Marie O-Brien

Ink 19 magazine’s Reading Room is a celebration of books and the people who write good ones.

Today's episode features author Anna-Marie O’Brien talking about her book Adventures of a Metalhead Librarian: A Rock N’ Roll Memoir with Ink 19’s Rose Petralia.

Stream the show for a mildly intellectual discussion of sex, drugs, rock n’ roll, and Tipper Gore as Anna Marie leaves childhood behind for the Los Angeles metal scene and a budding career with Metal Blade Records. Don’t mind the buttholes, people!

Today's episode was produced by Frank Dreyer, Ian Koss, Rose Petralia, and Gregory Schaefer. Theme music was composed by Avi Bortnick—check him out online at avibortnick.com. Big thanks to Rose Petralia from Ink 19 and Anna-Marie O'Brien.
