This week, we'll dive into the curious world of criminals and crooks with journalist Patrick Radden Keefe, a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine and author of the bestsellers Empire of Pain: The Secret of the Sackler Dynasty and Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland.  Keefe is also the writer and host of Wind of Change, an 8-part podcast which investigates the strange convergence of espionage and heavy metal music during the Cold War. On February 21, 2023, Patrick Radden Keefe came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk with KQED's Mina Kim about his latest book, Rogues: True Stories of Grifters Killers Rebels and Crooks, and the reporting process that has made him one of today's most respected long-form journalists.

For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2017 and 2019, respectively.The writer George Saunders has long been acclaimed for his short stories, which he has collected into five books since 1996 (including this year's “Liberation Day”). But in 2017 he showed he was comfortable with longer narratives as well when he released his first novel, “Lincoln in the Bardo,” invoking multiple voices and ghostly spirits to portray President Lincoln's grief at the death of his young son even as the Civil War raged. Saunders visited the podcast that year to talk about the novel, and how the process of writing it was different for him from story writing. “It seemed like something that was going to have to be approached pretty earnestly, and I wasn't sure I had the chops to do that,” he told the host Pamela Paul. “I kind of had this little talk with myself: Dude, you're 50-whatever-I-was ... This is something you've been wanting to write your whole life. You've now been through many of the major milestones of life. You know, I'm old, I have beautiful kids, everything. Why is this material too earnest for you, or too whatever? So I made a little contract with myself that I would do three months of trying, just to see if it caught fire.”Also this week, we revisit Paul's 2019 conversation with the journalist Patrick Radden Keefe about his book “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland,” which looked at the Troubles in Northern Ireland through the lens of one young widow's disappearance in 1972. “I'm drafting on an incredibly brave effort by her children, starting in the 1990s, to come out and break the code of silence in Ireland, and say: ‘We need to know what happened,'” said Keefe, whose book went on to be named one of our 10 Best Books of 2019.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.

In the last 20 years, nearly 500,000 Americans have died from an opioid overdose making them the leading cause of accidental death in the country. Patrick Radden Keefe tells the story of how the Sackler family became a decisive force in this national tragedy In his new book Empire of Pain. The super-rich family is known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences, but the source of the family fortune turned out to be the opioid painkiller OxyContin.

Allyship has been on everyone's lips this year – and the conversation is incredibly overdue. But what does it mean to be an ally? How do we move beyond tokenism to a place of genuine allyship? What kind of self examination is required? What are the barriers in place and how do we break them down? To unpack these big questions, I invited Sarah Sheridan on to the podcast. Sarah is the non-indigenous co-founder in the Aboriginal owned and led business, @clothingthegap. Sarah's background is in health promotion and community engagement and she has a long history of working alongside the Victorian Aboriginal Community. Sarah is reading: Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe, Kindred, by Kirli Saunders, and On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist by Clarissa Ward.   Find out more at Clothing The Gap.

Patrick Radden Keefe shares the ins and outs of writing his bestselling non-fiction novel Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland. Of the four years he spent on the book, he claims 90 percent went into research and outlining and only 10 percent into the actual writing. So what did that process look like? In a candid conversation with Dutch journalist Inge Oosterhoff, Patrick Radden Keefe talks all about the best way to tell a true story and how to arrange the truth into a compelling narrative that reads like a novel. He explains why he believes access is overrated, why footnotes offer creative freedom, and how he came to terms with the understanding that there were stories he didn't need to tell. An insightful look behind the scenes of book-writing with Patrick Radden Keefe. He will teach you about the eight big beats and how screenwriting helped him to outline and sequence the story. How compression, juxtaposition and cutting can help you to keep the momentum of the story going and your audience engaged. As Radden Keefe puts it: ‘You don't always have to finish the thought.'

When I think of a greenhouse, I envision small seeds sprouting roots and then green shoots slowly rising toward the sunlight. The progress to grow may be slow at first but soon becomes rapidly transformational as the plant drinks in the nourishment of the heat, moisture, and sunlight in the greenhouse cocoon. Our guest this week, Hannah Rose Neuhauser, is the co-founder and program director of The Young Author's Greenhouse, an organization inspired by the 826 Valencia writing organization for children and teens launched by author Dave Eggers. The Louisville greenhouse, located in the Portland neighborhood, nurtures student writers in an imaginative writing space which includes a storefront called The Opposite Shop where you can find jars of sunshine and magic fish scales. But moving from the Shop through the portal into the organization's writing center, young writers enter a world where they are taken seriously by mentors who question and instill confidence. One of the coolest programs offered by The Young Author's Greenhouse is an annual song-writing event with Jim James, leader of the rock band My Morning Jacket, and Teddy Abrams, the young hip conductor of the Louisville Orchestra. Hannah Rose tells us what book she read in college that inspired her to start this nonprofit journey, what skill is more important than writing for volunteers with the Young Author's Greenhouse, and what perk of the program can entice even reluctant young writers to put their words on paper. Books mentioned in this episode: 1- A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers 2- If you Can See the Stars, There is Still Light by The Young Author's Greenhouse 3- Into the Wolf-Dark Shadows by The Young Author's Greenhouse 4- Know My Name by Chanel Miller 5- The Last Wish by Andrezej Sapkowski (Short Stories) 6- Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe 7- Bluets by Maggie Nelson 8- The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson Online Article mentioned: Flattened by the Curve www.mcsweeneys.net/columns/flattened-by-the-curve TV shows mentioned: 1- Derry Girls on Netflix 2- Sex Education on Netflix 3- Schitt's Creek on Hulu 4- Seinfeld on Hulu   You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our blog site at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com Perks airs on Forward Radio 106.5 FM and forwardradio.org every Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursdays at 6 am and 12 pm.

In 2013, Patrick Radden Keefe, a staff writer for the New Yorker, came across the obituary of a woman named Dolours Price, a former member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). Keefe's interest in Price led to sprawling research about an appalling crime that took place over the course of the three-decade Troubles in Northern Ireland: The disappearance of Jean McConville, a widowed young mother of ten children. His research led to his 2019 book, “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland.” Mikhaila Fogel sat down with Keefe to discuss his book, the shocking history of McConville’s disappearance, the broader context of the terrorism and counterterrorism campaigns in Northern Ireland over the course of the Troubles, and what happened to the perpetrators and the victims of this crime.

In Episode 38, Garrett M. Graff goes behind-the-scenes of his new book, The Only Plane in the Sky (one of my top books of 2019). This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights Where Garrett was on 9/11. What he was trying to accomplish with his book. The big challenge of understanding 9/11 as it moves “from memory into history.” The lack of communications and confusion of that day. How Garrett compiled all these little snippets of memory into a compelling story arc. How 9/11 was an inflection point in how Americans respond to a potential threat. What Garrett thinks is the “most interesting moment of 9/11.” The general demeanor of people he interviewed in person as they reflected back on 9/11. The one person he wanted to interview for the book that declined and why it ultimately ended up being a good thing for the book. The original length of the book. Why Garrett was able to talk about the U.S. government’s emergency plans, bunkers, etc. How The Only Plane in the Sky sort of came out of Garrett’s previous book, Raven Rock. Survivor’s guilt surrounding 9/11 and reaction from the Clinton Administration. Garrett’s favorite fiction writer. Garrett’s favorite narrative nonfiction of 2019.

Graff, Politico Magazine Nonfiction November Chernobyl (HBO series) 2019 National Book Awards Longlist for Nonfiction About Garrett Author Website | Twitter | Instagram  Garrett M. Graff, a distinguished magazine journalist, bestselling historian, and regular TV commentator has spent more than a dozen years covering politics, technology, and national security—helping to explain where we’ve been and where we’re headed. Today, he serves as the director of the Aspen Institute’s cybersecurity and technology program, and is a contributor to WIRED, Longreads, and CNN. He’s written for publications from Esquire to the New York Times, and served as the editor of two of Washington’s most prestigious magazines, Washingtonian and POLITICO Magazine, which he helped lead to its first National Magazine Award, the industry’s highest honor. Graff is the author of multiple books, including The First Campaign: Globalization, the Web, and the Race for the White House, which examined the role of technology in the 2008 presidential race, and The Threat Matrix: Inside Robert Mueller’s FBI, which traces the history of the FBI’s counterterrorism efforts. His book, Raven Rock, a national bestseller, about the government’s Cold War Doomsday plans, was published in May 2017, and his most recent book, co-authored with John Carlin, examined the rise of cyber threats, Dawn of the Code War: America’s Battle Against Russia, China, and the Rising Global Cyber Threat. Inside both journalism and politics, he has a long history as a new media pioneer. He was the founding editor of mediaBistro.com’s FishbowlDC (www.FishbowlDC.com), a popular blog that covers the media and journalism in Washington, and co-founder of EchoDitto, Inc., a multi-million-dollar Washington, D.C.-based internet strategy consulting firm. During his time at FishbowlDC, he was the first blogger admitted to cover a White House press briefing in 2005, a moment considered significant enough that his reporter’s notebook from that first briefing is on display at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. A Vermont native and graduate of Harvard, he served as deputy national press secretary on Howard Dean’s presidential campaign and, beginning in 1997, was then-Governor Dean’s first webmaster.  He taught at Georgetown University for seven years, including courses on journalism and technology, and his writing and commentary has appeared in publications like the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, New York, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Rolling Stone, 5280, Politico, AARP Magazine, Eater, Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine, USA Today, GQ UK, NextCity, and he has appeared on CBS This Morning, The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBC, the BBC, Al Jazeera English, the History Channel, National Geographic, and various NPR programs, including “This American Life,” “Fresh Air,” and “All Things Considered.” His reporting has been cited on shows ranging from Stephen Colbert to John Oliver to Rachel Maddow.  He also is the chair of the board of the National Conference on Citizenship, a congressionally-charted civic engagement group founded by Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, and serves on the board of Vermont Public Radio and the Burlington Housing Authority.

Not you people. Not you, the listeners. But when you put 9 people in a house for a week things can get lively. I wonder why they've never made a TV show about this.

On The Gist, the political parties of Israel. In the interview, Jean McConville’s murder in 1972—when The Troubles were at their bloodiest—sparked what few deaths did in Northern Ireland: a reckoning. The New Yorker’s Patrick Radden Keefe joins us to give context to McConville’s death, from the various factions at war back then to the country’s incomplete reconciliation process and oddly rehabilitated politicians.

In this episode, Neil, Niki, and Natalia discuss “cancel culture,” the lost art of hobbies, and the tragic Ethiopian Airlines crash. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast On this week’s Past Present episode, Nicole Hemmer, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, and Neil J. Young discuss “cancel culture,” the lost art of hobbies, and the tragic Ethiopian Air crash. Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  Young Adult literature is the latest arena for controversies over “cancel culture.” Neil recommended Jennifer Senior’s New York Times article on the perils of taking it too far. Hobbies, or engaging in an activity only for the joy it brings, are increasingly a rarity. Neil referred to Hanna Rosin’s book The End of Men: And the Rise of Women. Natalia recommended this history of the “side hustle” at The Conversation. A tragic airplane crash has killed 157 people and raised questions about the Boeing 737 Max 8 model. Neil recommended the book, Flying Without Fear. Natalia referred to this Wall Street Journal article about the effect of crashes on the airplane industry. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed Matthew Remski’s new book, Practice and All is Coming. Neil recommended Patrick Radden Keefe’s book, Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland and his previous reporting at The New Yorker. Niki talked about her recent appearance on Trumpcast.

Patrick Radden Keefe is a staff writer at the New Yorker. His latest book is "Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland"
