For more than 10 years, Austin L. Ray has been writing about entertainment and culture. He’s sat in a dark tent with Zach Galifianakis, walked Savannah, Ga.’s streets while profiling its metal scene and discussed Twitter with Robert Plant. When not writing for the A.V. Club, SPIN, MTV and many others, he spends his time fielding facial-hair questions from strangers and searching for the world’s hoppiest beer.
