Episode 37: Tyler Cabot
This week\u2019s episode once again features three segments.\nThe first is a talk with Tyler Cabot, an articles editor for Esquire Magazine. Cabot also directs the magazine\u2019s research and development. He spearheaded the revamping of Esquire Classic, which now includes access to every issue Esquire has ever published.\nCabot has said that today, he is focused with finding new ways to tell and sell stories, and that is evident in Esquire Classic. On that new site, you can read Gay Talese\u2019s landmark celebrity profile, \u201cFrank Sinatra Has a Cold,\u201d and you can read it as it appeared in the April 1966 issue of the magazine. You can also read a short, behind-the-scenes piece on the difficulties of reporting that story. And you can read the letters-to-the-editor that the piece spawned.\nFrom Ernest Hemingway to F. Scott Fitzgerald to Chris Jones and Tom Junod, it\u2019s all there on this new site.\nIn the second segment, we offer our first, full-length audio version of a piece of nonfiction. We\u2019ve got \u201cThe Ghosts I Run With,\u201d by host Matt Tullis. The piece of memoir ran on SB Nation Longform in April, and is about the many people Tullis thinks about when he runs, people he came to know when he had leukemia as a teenager, people who didn\u2019t survive their own illnesses.\nFinally, in Required Reading, freelance writer D. Rossi tells us why we should all read Brian Ives\u2019 piece \u201cHow Bruce Springsteen Got His Groove Back,\u201d which ran on Radio.com. Rossi maintains the blog Life among the Humans.
