For the 30th and final edition of what we have come to know as The Best American Sports Writing series (Best American Paper, or Houghton Mifflin. Harcourt, (Amazon says Best American Paper, HMH’s website says it’s theirs. I don’t know anymore.), 2020), CNFPod bestie Glenn Stout returns to the show to talk about BASW and the evolution of journalism, or the evolution of the medium.
He also has a new book coming out in March: Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid: America’s Original Gangster Couple. It is available for pre-order.
If you want your fix of Stout, he’s been on the show here, here, and here. All worth listening to. There’s nobody better at distilling what this mess is all about.
I’m not sure I know many people who love writing and writers more than Glenn. Sure, it’s a slog, but the only thing that powers you through is a love of the thing and the people who do the thing.
Social media for the podcast is @CNFPod and consider leaving a kind review on Apple Podcasts. I understand not everybody listens to podcasts there (I don’t. I use Pocket Casts.), but the vast majority of people do, so if you have a moment, consider leaving a written review. If you can’t leave one with Apple, email one to me and I’ll find ways to use it in promo material! creativenonfictionpodcast at gmail dot com
