“Working outside of journalism before working in journalism can be
a useful thing in terms of seeing how the world works,” says Katie
Baker. Hey there, CNFers, it’s The Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the
show where I speak to the best artists about telling true stories,
whether that’s narrative journalists, documentary filmmakers, essay
and memoir writers and radio producers, I try unpack their lives
and their work so you can apply those tools of mastery to your own
work. I’ve been a fan of today’s guest for quite some time. Today
for Ep. 108 I welcome Katie Baker to the show. She’s a staff writer
for The Ringer. Prior to that she worked for Grantland, so there’s
a Bill Simmons continuity thing going on there. Her work often
focuses on a singular subject and she’s one of those writers that
when you see her byline you know you’re in for some fun. Naturally
I’ve linked to some of her work in the show notes. She’s
