Episode 321: Nicholas Schmidle

Nicholas Schmidle is a staff writer for The New Yorker. His latest article is "Virgin Galactic's Rocket Man." “I think there’s a lot more pressure that I’ve put on myself to make sure that the next [article] is better than the last one. To make sure there are sourcing standards and expectations I have for myself now that I might not have had earlier. I’m putting even more priority on building long-term relationships in which I trust an individual. ... I feel like the pieces coming in are tighter in terms of sourcing, but story selection becomes a lot more difficult. You want to do a different story.” Thanks to MailChimp, Skagen, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode. @nickschmidle Schmidle on Longform Longform Podcast #46: Nicholas Schmidle [2:00] "In the Crosshairs" (New Yorker • Jun 2013) [2:00] "Getting bin Laden" (New Yorker • Aug 2011) [2:20] "Virgin Galactic's Rocket Man" (New Yorker • Aug 2018) [20:45] "Michael Flynn, General Chaos" (New Yorker • Feb 2017) [24:30] A Man in Full (Tom Wolfe • Farrar, Straus & Giroux • 1998) [24:40] I Am Charlotte Simmons: A Novel (Tom Wolfe • Farrar, Straus & Giroux • 2004) [25:00] The Right Stuff (Tom Wolfe • Farrar, Straus & Giroux • 1979) [31:45] "Freedom for Tyrone Hood" (New Yorker • Jan 2015) [33:45] "A Very Rare Book" (New Yorker • Dec 2013) [37:00] The Staircase (Jean-Xavier de Lestrade • Netflix • 2004) [39:45] "The Digital Dirt" (The New Yorker • Feb 2016) [40:10] "The Kings of the Desert" (New Yorker • Apr 2015) [48:00] "Ten Borders" (New Yorker • Oct 2015) [56:20] "The Digital Vigilantes Who Hack Back" (New Yorker • May 2008) [57:00] Scrivener software Learn more about your ad choices.
