Episode 317: Paige Williams

Paige Williams is a New Yorker staff writer and the author of The Dinosaur Artist: Obsession, Betrayal, and the Quest for Earth's Ultimate Trophy. “I was just sitting in a coffee shop and saw this thing about a Montana dinosaur thief, and thought, oh that’s really interesting, I don’t know anything about that. And I knew nothing about natural history, nothing about natural history museums. I was born and raised in Mississippi. We didn’t talk about that kind of stuff. I grew up in the Baptist church. It certainly wasn’t mentioned there. … It just was a world completely alien to me, which I love. I love going into worlds that I know nothing about, and I like to take them apart and put them back together again.” Thanks to MailChimp, Skagen, Squarespace, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode. @williams_paige Williams on Longform [3:30] "Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s Battering Ram" (New Yorker • Sep 2018) [9:30] "The Bizarre Tale of the ‘Dinosaur Artist’ Who Trafficked in Stolen Fossils" (Peter Brannen • New York Times • Oct 2018) [41:30] "Observer Wins Pulitzer Prize for Coverage of PTL, Bakkers" (Karen Garloch • Charlotte Observer • April 1988) [41:30] "Sketches of the New Pulitzer Winners, including 'Brown Lung: A Case of Deadly Neglect'" (New York Times • April 1981) [42:30] Nieman Fellowship [48:00] "How Waffle House Became a Cultural Icon" (Atlanta • Dec 2007) [48:45] "'You Have Thousands of Angels Around You'" (Atlanta • Oct 2007) [57:00] "Finding Dolly Freed" (Self-Published • Jan 2010) Learn more about your ad choices.
