Jackie MacMullan, the legendary basketball writer, is on the podcast to talk about judging what we know to be the final installment of The Best American Sports Writing.
She’s chronicled the NBA (big ups to Louisa Thomas) since the early 1980s for The Boston Globe, Sports Illustrated and now ESPN.
Her five-part series on mental health in the NBA was widely lauded and a must-read.
Over the course of her career, she has co-written books, collaborated on books, and now she can add guest editor to 30th and final volume of The Best American Sports Writing.
In this conversation, we talk about:
- The rigor of reporting
- Making the extra ten calls
- Fear
- And how writing should teach you something
Among other things, of course.
I hope you dig it and consider emailing this to a friend and let them know what we’re up to here at CNF Pod HQ.
