14: Shop Owners Buck Johnston & Camp Bosworth

Living on the Mexican-American border, buying a church on a whim, and listening to daytime disco.

In this episode I talk to designer Buck Johnston and artist Camp Bosworth, the delightful duo behind the Wrong Store in Marfa, Texas – a gallery, a boutique of curiosities, and their home sweet home. Be sure to check out Camp’s impressive wood sculptures, inspired by drug lords and larger than life narco-politics.
