  • Summary

  • So Wendy never reads sports, but always reads Cathal Kelly, the sports writer at the Globe and Mail. He’s funny and fearless and clever, Cathal just happens to have chosen sports as the best vehicle. We pretended we were going to talk about the upcoming Paris Olympics, and we did! (Cathal loves the Olympics, aka 23-year-olds doing crazy, exceptional things, sometimes involving the River Seine) We also talk about his book, a memoir Cathal wrote a couple of years ago, called “Boy Wonders”. The book says intimacy makes him nervous, but it’s so revealing. He tells of loving Morrissey of The Smiths and George Orwell, who both argue your dreams usually don’t come true. Just try to be happy, says Cathal, but then why has he not lowered his expectations for his writing? We talk about that, how his mother is still terrifying, and how the perfect way to style your hair is with French Formula hairspray. A video and transcription of the show are available on the episode page. We love writing and would love for you to read what we write. Sign up for our Substack Newsletter.
