I admit it—I've only just started listening to R.U. Sirius's podcast interview with Laura Albert, I couldn't tell you everything she says about her career as JT Leroy, though she starts out by explaining why she agreed to give her first post-controversy interview to The Paris Review rather than Rolling Stone or Vanity Fair: "When Paris Review came, I just felt like, they're a literary magazine, and I'm a writer, you know? At the end of the day, what I was interested in were people who take problems of the spirit, problems of the soul, and transform them into problems of craft."

Some of the other parts of the show I did sample include some NSFW words, so you might want to break out the headphones if you plan to listen at your desk. Also, you have to fast-forward through a bunch of stuff about whatever it is that happened over at Valleywag.
