Ira Question | Written by Nathan Mattise
I like to think that deep down inside all journalists share the same secret desire.
They like writing, but really want to write a book. Since journos are trained in reporting, it has to be a subject driven text.
Chuck Klosterman said he’d take the Real World culture. Bill Simmons took the Basketball Hall of Fame. I’m on record for Ra Ra Riot.
So, Ira Glass the journalist: If you had two years to immerse yourself in a subject and produce your signature text…
What subject would you most like all-access to in order to write the definitive text on? (Radio comic books not included)
