About this episode

Mark Thompson and Tim Conway Jr. discuss the entertainment industry and interview supermodel Susan Holmes McKagan about her life and new novel.

The Mark Thompson Show Hour 1 (6.11) Podcast Description:   Mark Thompson is in the house tonight filling in alongside his BFF Tim Conway Jr., and the guys are keeping it real — dropping a PSA that yes, there are homeless people back east too, while lamenting how LA’s entertainment industry is slowly bleeding out to places like Ireland, Vancouver, Atlanta, and Australia despite all the tax breaks. At 6:20 they geek out over the upcoming SpaceX IPO and what investors might snap up once Elon’s rocket company goes public. Then the real fun begins when supermodel and author Susan Holmes McKagan stops by to talk about her new novel  The Velvet Rose  — from getting discovered at 16, living the wild supermodel life in early ‘90s New York with her look book, to her fairytale meet-cute and marriage to Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan. Classic Hollywood-meets-rock-n-roll storytelling with plenty of laughs.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
