Episode 573 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features
Harvey Araton, who worked for 25 years as a columnist and enterprise reporter at the New York Times and is the author of a new novel for middle-grade readers, "The Goal of the Game.” In this podcast Araton discusses why he wanted to write a novel about a seventh grade soccer player; how you get into the voice of a seventh grader; the challenge of writing a book for kids; how to get such a book sold; how promoting a kids book is different than a book for adults; whether the general sports columnist is extinct; how he viewed the NYT disbanding the sports desk; why the Knicks have become a likeable franchise and more.
