Episode 70: Amy Wallace

Published: Nov. 27, 2013, 6:30 p.m.

Amy Wallace is an editor-at-large for Los Angeles and a correspondent for GQ .\n\n"I've written about the anti-vaccine movement. I love true crime. I've written a lot of murder stories. The thing that unites all of them\u2014whether it's a celebrity profile or a biologist who murdered a bunch of people or Justin Timberlake\u2014it's almost trite to say, but there's a humanity to each of these people. And figuring out what's making them tick in the moment, or in general, is interesting to me. In a way, that's my sweet spot."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and Warby Parker for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@msamywallace\namy-wallace.com\nWallace on Longform\n[7:00] "Justin Timberlake: #Hashtag of the Year" (GQ \u2022 Dec 2013)\n[12:15] "The Comedian's Comedian's Comedian" (GQ \u2022 Aug 2010)\n[20:30] "A Very Dangerous Boy" (GQ \u2022 Nov 2013)\n[35:15] "Mrs. Hughes Takes Her Leave" (Ron Suskind \u2022 Esquire \u2022 Jul 2002)\n[37:00] "Valley Girl Interrupted" (Los Angeles \u2022 Oct 2001)\n[44:30] "What Made This University Researcher Snap?"
