The most unlikely story on David Remnick's author page:
His 1997 New Yorker profile of Howard Stern. It was Tina's idea.

I think @thepressbox.bsky.social just came up with the best possible title for the inevitable film treatment of the Nuzzi/Lizza/RFK/et al saga: “Love Rhombus”

The last time Bob Costas came on the pod, we talked about the NBA on NBC.
Today, we dove into the Great NFL Pregame Wars of the '80s and '90s.
Brent (CBS) and Bob (NBC). OJ. Larry King. Ahmad Rashad's on-air proposal to Phylicia. And Bill Murray.

When Susan Orlean started writing for the New Yorker, in 1987, she felt like an interloper among the John Updikes and Calvin Trillins.
I asked her when she stopped feeling that way.
