DiploSport Podcast 136: Jeff Pearlman

The DiploSport Podcast

One of our all-time favorite sportswriters joins DiploSport for this week's podcast. Jeff Pearlman was a terrific writer for Sports Illustrated before becoming one of the best book authors in the business. His works - like Boys will be Boys (about the Cowboy Dynasty) and The Bad Guys Won (about the '86 Mets) - are uniformly impeccably well reported and capture memorable and humorous accounts of some of the most well-known teams in recent history. Jeff shares his approach to storytelling and his method for reporting during our wide-ranging discussion covering his life and career in sports.
