This week on Behind the Lines we go fully meta as we pick our favourite of our guests’ writing picks from the series so far.
Listen to Paul Howard discuss Gary Smith’s stunning evocation of Muhammad Ali’s entourage and Paul Kimmage’s affecting piece on the life and death of his one-time friend and team-mate, Thierry Claveyrolat.
David Walsh doffs his cap to Damien Ressiot, another journalist crucial in the chase of Lance Armstrong; Malachy Clerkin recounts Paul Howard’s meeting with Daniel Timofte, the man who helped to make a legend of Packie Bonner; Jonathan Liew waxes lyrical about Wright Thompsons’s stunning 2016 profile of Tiger Woods...and then Wright Thompson comes on air to explain how he did it.
