Listen to the latest episode of the Sunday Long Read - with Tommy Tomlinson

January 13, 2019 - “The clock doesn’t run out until the very end,” says Tommy Tomlinson, author of the new book “The Elephant in the Room: One fat man’s quest to Get Smaller in a Growing America.” The book was excerpted by The Atlantic and is Don’s favorite read this week. Tommy talks about his book, his weight, and more with Don on this week’s episode, which ranges from questions about emotional intelligence to the speed of Herschel Walker. Tommy, a 23-year veteran of the Charlotte Observer, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and the host of his own podcast, has plenty of stories to tell and brings his trademark thoughtfulness to this week’s episode.

" Sundays used to be for sitting on the couch reading the paper. That was before the Internet—and before I had kids. Now my Sunday reading habit begins (and sometimes ends) with The Sunday Long Read. The best, longform journalism across a variety of subjects curated by a man who knows a little something about really good reporting: Don Van Natta Jr. The Sunday Long Read not only broadens my horizons but also makes me feel good about the future of journalism. Seeing so many great stories in one place is an affirmation of the power and potential that reporting still retains. "

Chris Cillizza Washington Post political reporter
