A Conversation with Pulitzer Winning Southern Writer Rick Bragg (Part II)

The Talking Appalachian Podcast

What did you think of this episode?

In Part II of my conversation with one of my favorite writers, Pulitzer-winning southern writer and journalist Rick Bragg, he talks about some of the news stories that haunt him. He also gives both teachers and students his best advice for becoming a journalist or novelist...what to do and definitely what not to do.
Rick Bragg is the author of memoirs like Ava's Man, All Over But the Shoutin' , The Best Cook in the World, and The Speckled Pup that draw on his rural Alabama upbringing and his blue-collar family. He won a Pulitzer prize in journalism for his work at The New York Times, and now teaches writing at The University of Alabama. He writes monthly columns for Southern Living and Garden and Gun.
