Author Rob Loughran in studio

Our guest is Rob Loughran, a Petaluma native and longtime journalist whose work has appeared in hundreds of local and national publications. He’s here to talk about his new collection, Walmart to Wolf House: Sonoma County Essays, featuring 41 essays inspired by the people, places, and peculiarities of Sonoma County. Rob is also the author of several novels set in the 707, and, by his own account, a veteran of a thrillingly unsuccessful screenwriting career.
