Summary

Sabrina Rubin Erdely, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, has also written for GQ, Philadelphia and SELF. "I think that people are, by their nature, good and want to act rightly. So I'm very interested in why people do these things that result in really bad actions. My lack of outrage actually is one of the things that probably helps me in my reporting because I really am propelled by this pure curiosity. ... I just want to know, 'Where did that come from?'" Thanks to TinyLetter and PillPack for sponsoring this week's episode. Show notes: @SabrinaRErdely sabrinaerdely.com Erdely on Longform [3:00] Longform Podcast #77: Dan P.
