Dave Goelz gave a great shoutout to Funny Boy: The Richard Hunt Biography in this recent podcast. “There’s a woman writing a book about him which I’m always after her to get finished, because I want to read it. It looks like it’s going to be really, really good.”

Thinking of Hunt today on the 19th anniversary of his death.
