Kelly Dessaint on the “Drinks with Tony” Podcast


I was a guest on Tony DuShane’s eponymous podcast/radio show, Drinks with Tony. We discuss the craft writing, how I ended up driving a taxi, my experiences with Lyft and Uber, how I landed a gig writing a column for the S.F. Examiner, the pandemic and how a little bit of success can lead to a whole lot of despair.

I think. We talked for a while, and I kinda hoping he edited a bunch of stuff out…

Anyway. Not sure what Tony was drinking, but I had a seltzer on ice.

Last month, I went to the KALW studios and talked with Jenee Darden about the I Drive S.F. column, the Behind the Wheel zine series, how I ended up driving for Uber and Lyft, then switching to taxi and what it’s like dealing with all those things in a city like San Francisco.

The interview aired on January 30, 2019.
