We're joined in this, our 200th episode of Conversations, by New York Times best-selling author, longtime friend, and 1-time housemate, John U. Bacon.
An elusive fella to pin down we were finally able to secure an hour of John's time in late March but have been sitting on this Conversation for such a special occasion.
We learn about the impact the world of sports had on John in 1972 (think Munich Summer Olympics, the NHL-USSR Summit Series, and a pennant-contending Detroit Tigers' team) and learn a bit about his writing process and where some of his ideas emanate from.
And, because John and host Doug Hill were former housemates, there's a few minutes devoted to that special time nearly 35 years ago with special mention of RBI Baseball and "Bowl."
