Elyssa Friedland & Kermit Roosevelt III, FIRST STREET

Today I'm with Elyssa Friedland in person and Kermit Roosevelt III via Skype for a new project called First Street, which has been released on Serial Box, a super cool app that allows you to both read and toggle between reading and audio. Elyssa and Kermit collaborated with four other authors on the First Street novel. You may have already heard me interview Elyssa one of her three other novels, The Intermission. Kermit is a writer, author, lawyer, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He's a novelist, and a frequent op-ed contributor, to publications like The New York Times, Time, The Washington Times, and others.
