At one of Seattle’s oldest courses, the Green Lake Pitch & Putt, players swing with just two clubs, skip the scorecard, and focus on each other’s company. Producer Eric Riddle and Photographer/Editor Mark Morache take us out for a relaxed round of short 9, showing how a great attitude and a willingness to laugh can turn even the most “frustrating” sport into a good time.

In his memoir, "Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground," he investigates the forces that transformed his parents from idealistic young activists into some of America’s most notorious radicals—and the consequences their choices had for their children. Dohrn joins Book Lust host Nancy Pearl to discuss the difficult family conversations behind the book, the line between resistance and violence, and the unsettling parallels he sees between the political upheaval of the 1960s and today.
