Episode 298: Reeves Wiedeman

Published: June 13, 2018, 1:49 p.m.

b"Reeves Wiedeman is a reporter at New York.\\n\\n\\u201cI think the main reason I love the job is reporting. And the fact that you get to go out into situations that you wouldn\\u2019t otherwise as your job. I\\u2019m someone who gets antsy if I\\u2019m just on a vacation sitting around. I\\u2019d much rather go somewhere weird and kind of have a purpose. So, just feeling like you can kind of go anywhere and see anything and talk to anyone is a pretty cool way to live your day.\\u201d\\n\\n\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Pitt Writers, Thermacell, and Best Self for sponsoring this week's episode.\\n\\n\\n@reeveswiedeman\\n\\n\\nWiedeman on Longform\\n\\n\\nWiedeman's archive at New York Magazine\\n\\n\\nWiedeman's archive at The New Yorker\\n\\n\\n[01:10] \\u201cThe Sand Hook Hoax\\u201d (New York Magazine \\u2022 Sep 2017)\\n\\n\\n[04:00] \\u201cThe Dirtbag Left\\u2019s Man in Syria\\u201d (New York Magazine \\u2022 Apr 2017)\\n\\n\\n[04:05] \\u201cGray Hat\\u201d (New York Magazine \\u2022 Mar 2018)\\n\\n\\n[09:25] Brian Krebs on Security\\n\\n\\n[09:30] Motherboard\\n\\n\\n[16:35] \\u201cThe Rockefellers vs. the Company That Made Them Rockefellers\\u201d (New York Magazine \\u2022 Jan 2018)\\n\\n\\n[19:20] Kansas City Star\\n\\n\\n[30:05] \\u201cThe Great Whiskey Heist\\u201d (Men's Journal \\u2022 Jan 2016)\\n\\n\\n[31:10] \\u201cA Full Revolution\\u201d (The New Yorker \\u2022 May 2016)\\n\\n\\n[31:45] \\u201cMeet the Prom Queen of Instagram\\u201d (New York Magazine \\u2022 Sep 2015)\\n\\n\\n[34:10] Chronicle of Higher Education\\n\\n\\n[37:35] \\u201cThe Dime Store Floor\\u201d (David Owen \\u2022 The New Yorker \\u2022 Jan 2010)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
