Lise.FM - Rich Cohen & 'The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse'

Lise.FM

Episode 23 - This week I'm joined Rich Cohen to talk about his new book, "The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse." Rich tells me about how he found his writing idols and what he learned from each of them - from Joan Didion to Tom Wolfe - and he reflects on his early days as a writer, working as a receptionist at The New Yorker. Then, of course, we talk Cubs baseball: he tells me about his first time at Wrigley Field, growing up a Cubs fan in a Yankees household and getting his heartbroken time and time again by the team (until, of course, the fateful 2016 World Series win). Music this week from the @palettes Relief compilation - "Without You by @crapface, @thisiszackbruce & @moistbreezy <3 <3 <3
