Show notes

In episode 28, Kevin chats with Jeff Pearlman, New York Times best-selling author of 11 books. His latest book, "Only God can Judge Me: The many lives of Tupac Shakur,” comes out Oct. 21. He has written biographies of Brett Favre, Walter Payton and Bo Jackson, chronicled the 1986 Mets, the Showtime Lakers, Kobe and Shaq, and the USFL. Pearlman also hosts the podcast "Two Writers Slinging Yang," which helped inspire this one. Before he became an author, Pearlman wrote for Sports Illustrated. In this episode, you'll learn about his first job at The Tennessean: what he learned, the stories that stick with him, and what still matters when he writes books. Hear how Jeff Pearlman broke in.
