About this episode

John Leahy interviews sportswriter Jocko Connolly about storytelling and the writing process for his upcoming book.

As many of you know, I am working on my fourth book, Hat Tricks and Home Runs. As part of the process, I am interviewing my colleagues asking for their participation in the writing of the book. I am listening to all of the audio and extracting key ideas from each interviewee. One of these interviews was with longtime Boston Herald sportswriter Jocko Connolly. There was so much storytelling in my interview with Jocko that I thought I'd share it on the podcast this week. This is my interview with Jocko for the book.
