Greg Hanlon is a crime editor at People Magazine and also a freelance sports writer. His piece “Sins of the Preacher” was anthologized in the Best American Sports Writing 2015 edition. His “The Many Crimes of Mel Hall” was a notable selection.

That’s called a hell of a run!

In this conversation we hit up a lot nuts and bolts and also what Greg looks for in a story before he goes all in.

He’s a pro. Here are links to Greg’s work:

The Many Crimes of Mel Hall

The Sordid End of David Meggett

And, of course, the link to the episode as well as the media player. What a world!
