Standing Alone

Author: Jesse Ventura & Tyrel Ventura October 26, 2022 Duration: 42:09

Welcome to the Independent Streak Podcast, only on Jesse Ventura’s Die First, Then Quit. Here we showcase candidates, activists, and influencers who are fighting to bring something new, fresh, and game changing to the worlds of politics and pop culture.

On this episode Tyrel Ventura talks with author Chris Chambers about his new crime novel “Standalone”.

Professor of media studies at Georgetown University, lawyer, and International Fellow at International Conflict Resolution Center, Chris Chambers is a man of many talents but it is in his work as a crime novelist where you can see his true creativity and hard hitting social commentary shine.

Through his main character Dickie Cornish, a Washington, DC street denizen turned unlicensed private investigator, Chambers is able to shine a light on some of the real life institutional corruptions and tragedies that beset those members of our society that we are quick to forget, disregard, or toss aside in our society.

It’s in his melding of classic detective fiction with modern day street level scandal that Chambers crafts and truly unique and compelling sequel to his best selling book “Scavenger” and in the process creates a truly unique brand of storytelling that makes him the perfect addition for this edition of the Independent Streak Podcast.
