LISTEN TO THIS: Longform, a podcast about writing
Glimpses of the behind-the-scenes stuff make it appealing to readers as well as writers
Longform is a podcast about the craft of writing. It’s funny and interesting and not just for scribes — in case you were wondering. If you’re a reader you’ll be just as intrigued at the process of reporting. Importantly, the podcast goes beyond method (how do you take notes?) and allows listeners a glimpse of behind the scenes "stuff" and the quirk that doesn’t make it into print. If you liked HBO’s The Newsroom, you’ll like this.Each episode (and there are already over 200) of the podcast features an author or editor of a news story. I like the ones with Jon Favreau, Obama’s speechwriter (#196), and Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert (#187).You can subscribe to Longform on iTunes.
