[gentle music] Veteran sports journalist Gene Wojciechowski joins me for this month's episode of the GWAA podcast.

I'm Amy Rogers, your host, and I enjoyed spending some time with the longtime writer at ESPN to talk about his 13th book, a novel, All Carry.

Wojciechowski tells me why he decided to write a nonfiction book this time around, and describes the differences writing a novel versus co-authoring a memoir like he's done with several famous individuals, including Bill Walton.

Wojciechowski also discusses his career, telling me it's been a series of leaps of faith, and said ending up at ESPN was a complete accident.

Wojciechowski also tells me about another golf book he has in the works, and explains how his longtime friend, Rick Reilly, inspired him to get into book writing.

We also discuss his new role as a professor at his alma mater, the University of Tennessee.
