Episode 2: Michael J. Mooney
In June 2012, D Magazine published Michael Mooney\u2019s \u201cThe Most Amazing Bowling Story Ever.\u201d The story is about a recreational bowler named Bill Fong, who on one night two years earlier, made an improbable run at perfection. The story has been included on just about every list of the best nonfiction of 2012 and ultimately was selected for Best American Sports Writing.\n\nIn this podcast, we talk with Mooney about how he found the story, what the reporting process was like and how he decided to structure it.\n\nSince joining the podcast, Mooney has written dozens of amazing stories, including an up-close look at Glenn Beck. He just published the piece \u201cWeekend at Johnny\u2019s,\u201d which had him traveling across America and visiting all of the bars that Johnny Manziel has partied in.
