As editor-at-large of The Ringer, Bill Simmons' new sports website and an alumni of the late, beloved Grantland, Bryan Curtis has a unique insider perspective on the US sports writing scene, past and present. In conversation with Francis Leach he'll discuss his long and varied career in journalism, from ESPN and life working for the world's most famous sportswriter back through his stints with The New York Times, Slate and Newsweek. A self-described "sports media junkie", Bryan is not only a formidable writer in his own right but an appreciator of America's rich and varied literary sports writing canon.
