A bonus midweek pod this week as we're joined by Alan Shipnuck, author of Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorised!) Biography of Golf's Most Colorful Superstar. We take a deep dive into the enormously complex character that is Phil Mickelson - the generational golf talent, thrilling victories and shattering defeats, off course philanthropy and gambling debts - all punctuated by his recent involvement with the the Saudi Arabian backed LIV golf tour.

Michael Bamberger is the greatest golf writer alive, author of various classic books and winner of innumerable awards, including this year's lifetime achievement citation to be presented by Jack Nicklaus at the Memorial. The intellectual curiosity that informs his writing has led Bamberger to leave corporate media for a scrappy upstart. With typical modesty, Michael did not want a splashy announcement that he was joining the Fire Pit Collective, preferring instead a substantive discussion with Alan Shipnuck about their shared history and Alan's forthcoming Mickelson biography “Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf's Most Colorful Superstar.”                                                                                                                    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
