Andy Kroll is an investigative reporter for\xa0ProPublica. His new book is\xa0A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy.\n\u201cI think a book has ruined me for writing hot takes and spicy Twitter dunks and all of these other one- and two-dimensional bits of ephemera. I wasn't really a big fan of it in the first place, but I can't do it anymore. A book forces you to look at the world in a much more fine grained, humane, empathetic way, and there's no going back from that.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@AndyKroll\n\nandy-kroll.com\n\nKroll on Longform\n\nKroll's\xa0ProPublica\xa0archive\n\nKroll's\xa0Rolling Stone\xa0archive\n\n01:00\xa0A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy\xa0(PublicAffairs \u2022 2022)\n\n21:00\xa0"Ted Cruz\u2019s Secret Weapon to Win the Right"\xa0(National Journal \u2022 Jun 2015)\n\n22:00\xa0"Ted Cruz\u2019s Howitzer"\xa0(New Republic \u2022 Jan 2016)\n\n22:00\xa0"The Staying Power of Nancy Pelosi"\xa0(The Atlantic \u2022 Sep 2015)\n\n22:00\xa0"The Last Days of Jerry Brown"\xa0(California Sunday Magazine \u2022 Mar 2018)\n\n31:00\xa0"Seth Rich, Slain DNC Staffer, Had Contact with WikiLeaks, Say Multiple Sources"\xa0(Malia Zimmerman \u2022 Fox News \u2022 May 2017)\n\n40:00\xa0Longform Podcast #46: Nicholas Schmidle\xa0(Jun 2013)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
