<em>I Wish I Made That</em> is a segment where we invite some of our favorite creative folks to dive deep into a piece of culture. We are joined by writer Kurt Andersen. Andersen is a longtime writer and editor, as well as co-founder the magazine <em>Spy</em> and former host of the public radio show <em>Studio 360</em>. The thing he wished he had made? <em>The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test</em> by Tom Wolfe. The book chronicled the counterculture movement of the '60s. It did not make Kurt more of a hippie than he already was, but it did make him want to be a writer. Kurt's latest novel <a href="https://www.kurtandersen.com/work#the-breakup"target="_blank" >The Breakup</a> will be out August 18th, <a href="https://www.kurtandersen.com/work#the-breakup"target="_blank" >pre-order now</a>.<br><br/><br/>See <a href="https://pcm.adswizz.com">pcm.adswizz.com</a> for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy">NPR Privacy Policy</a>
