  • Resumen

  • Ever get bogged down in big biographies? Maybe you’d prefer Matthew Algeo’s microcosm histories, which bring usual and entertaining stories from the past into the present. As a reporter, Matthew filed stories from all over the US and four different continents. His first book, Last Team Standing told the unlikely tale of how the Steelers and Eagles combined during World War II. Matthew went on to recount one president’s road trip to see his successor’s inauguration in Harry Truman’s Excellent Adventure, a journalist’s controversial exposé of Grover Cleveland’s cancer surgery in The President is a Sick Man, and the time when race walking was America’s most popular sport in Pedestrianism. His latest book is All This Marvelous Potential, which recreates Robert Kennedy’s 1968 trip to poor Appalachian communities in vivid detail. In this episode, Matthew shares: · How he learned to love deadlines instead of feeling pressured about them · What he looks for when digging for details in his research · Why the book writing process is like doing a puzzle · Which techniques he uses to hone his narratives · How he finds fascinating old stories that deserve their own book Pick up a copy of Matthew’s latest book, All This Marvelous Potential, and keep up with his writing on his website, https://www.malgeo.net.
