Episode 208: Rachel Monroe

Published: Aug. 24, 2016, 3:02 p.m.

Rachel Monroe is a freelance writer based in Texas.\n\n \u201cI will totally go emotionally deep with people. If I can find a subject who is into that then it will probably be a good story. Whether that person is a victim of a crime, or a committer of a crime, or a woman who spends a lot of time on the internet looking for hoaxes, or whatever it may be\u2014I guess I just think people are interesting. Particularly when those people have gone through some sort of extreme situation.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Club W, and Igloo for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@rachmonroe\nrachel-monroe.com\nMonroe on Longform\n[00:45] "Fire Behavior" (Oxford American \u2022 Apr 2014)\n[01:00] Love and Ruin: Tales of Obsession, Danger, and Heartbreak from the Atavist Magazine (W.W.
