b'Joshuah Bearman is the co-founder of Epic Magazine\\xa0and a freelance writer. His latest story is "Coronado High."\\n\\n"People who know me well will realize that parts of this story are actually about me. \\u2026 It\'s about loss of innocence and getting to a certain point in your life where you realize the excitement of youth is over. Life at a certain point gets complicated and there are consequences and things get hard. These are people who dealt with those consequences in a way that I never did \\u2014\\xa0they had to go to prison or destroy their friends lives \\u2014\\xa0but that\'s what I liked about this story. It\'s a true crime story, but it became universal when I realized that there is this emotional experience that these characters go through that anybody can relate to."\\n\\nThanks to TinyLetter and Igloo Software for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\nShow notes:\\n@JoshBearman\\nBearman on Longform\\n[2:45] "Coronado High" (The Atavist \\u2022 Aug 2013)\\n[3:30] Excerpt of the GQ version of "Coronado High" (GQ \\u2022 Jun 2013)\\n[6:00] "The Great Escape" (Wired \\u2022 Apr 2007)\\n[14:00] Longform Podcast #11: Bearman discusses Argo\\n[20:00] "Baghdad Country Club" (The Atavist \\u2022 Jan 2012)\\n[24:30] Epic Magazine\\n[25:15] Longform Podcast #17: Joshua Davis\\n[42:00] "The Gold Heist: A Third Interview with a Nuclear Physicist" (McSweeney\'s \\u2022 Mar 2001)\\n[43:15] "The Perfect Game" (Harper\'s \\u2022 Jul 2008) [subscription required]\\n[44:30] "It\'s Always a Good Idea to Get Some Manure on Your Boots" (The Believer \\u2022 April 2004)\\n[46:30] "Heaven\'s Gate: The Sequel" (L.A.
