Brooke Jarvis is a contributing writer for\xa0The New York Times Magazine.\u201cObsession is inherently interesting. We want to know why somebody would care so much about something that it could direct their whole life. ... When people care about something a lot, what can be more interesting than that to understand what drives those powerful emotions? ... Part of why I do this work is that I am able to get temporarily obsessed with a lot of different things and then move on to the next thing that I'm temporarily obsessed with. ... There's always a new question that I want to follow.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@brookejarvis\nbrookejarvis.net\nJarvis on Longform\n02:00\xa0"Maryville native Brooke Jarvis wins Livingston Ward for young journalists"\xa0(Amy Beth Miller \u2022 The Daily Times \u2022 Jun 2017)\n05:00\xa0The New Kings of Nonfiction\xa0(Ira Glass \u2022 Riverhead Books \u2022 2007)\n06:00\xa0"The Squirrel Wars"\xa0(D.T.
