Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Michael Ames. Michael is an author who grew up on the East coast and eventually found himself in Idaho (yes, that’s a real place). In this episode we chat about great Italian food in New Jersey, then we move on to some hot corduroy talk, before diving head first into his new book. AMERICAN CIPHER: Bowe Bergdahl And The U.S. Tragedy in Afghanistan. This is a pretty fascinating interview and we learn that once again, media coverage of this event was wildly misinformed and widely misreported. Enjoy!
