162. Bill Donahue, Author: Unbound: Unforgettable True Stories from the World of Endurance Sports

My Back 40

In this episode, I am speaking with Bill Donahue about his book Unbound: Unforgettable True Stories from the World of Endurance Sports.

Bill Donahue is an independent writer who lives in New Hampshire. He has written for Outside, The New York Times Magazine, Bicycling, and Runner's World.

In reporting stories, I’ve searched for fallen meteorites in the Sahara Desert, snuck into Manuel Noriega’s abandoned beach house, and camped out with Army soldiers in the minus 30-degree chill of the Alaskan Arctic. I believe in journalism and in honest, compassionate storytelling. I live in New Hampshire, and I try to get out on my bike or on cross-country skis every afternoon.

Bill and I have a chat about his emergence as a journalist as well as his experiences interviewing and learning about endurance athletes and what makes them tick.

Check out his website to learn more about how you can pre-order Unbound.
