His book\xa0Concepcion: An Immigrant Family's Fortunes\xa0comes out in October.\u201cI don\u2019t think any child of the recession will ever not feel precarious. And being in journalism makes that even more so. ... At this point I\u2019ve embraced the precarity of working in this industry. I\u2019m sure at some point it\u2019s going to be grating for people to hear me talk about how precarious and insecure I feel. \u2026 But I\u2019ve got too many friends who are way too talented, who can\u2019t use that talent in the ways that they are passionate about, for me to ever feel like my place in this industry is fully cemented.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0and\xa0CaseFleet\xa0for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@AlbertSamaha\nalbertsamaha.com\nSamaha on Longform\nSamaha's\xa0BuzzFeed\xa0archive\n11:00\xa0Never Ran, Never Will Boyhood and Football in a Changing American Inner City\xa0(PublicAffairs \u2022 2018)\n17:00\xa0"The Tragedy of Louis Scarcella"\xa0(Village Voice \u2022 Aug 2014)\n23:00\xa0"A Bronx Betrayal"\xa0(BuzzFeed \u2022 Jan 2015)\n36:00\xa0Concepcion\n40:00\xa0"Looking For Right And Wrong In The Philippines"\xa0(BuzzFeed \u2022 May 2017)\n40:00\xa0"My Uncle Spanky, the Rock Star Who Left It All Behind"\xa0(Pop-Up \u2022 Jun 2020)\n42:00\xa0"I Followed My Uncle\u2019s Legend To Italy, And Found A New Way Forward"\xa0(BuzzFeed \u2022 Mar 2018)\n42:00\xa0"My Mom Believes In QAnon.
