Drew Magary Takes a Hike

Copright Patrick Serengulian
Drew Magary

Drew Magary is an interesting guy.

You might have one impression if you know him from his irreverent and wildly popular commentary in Deadspin, where he defends things like cargo pants and writes columns called "Why Your Team Sucks" and "Why Your Children's Television Program Sucks." Or, if you follow him in GQ, where he recently shared his wry observations on the Republican National Convention and strident views on Donald Trump.

Then, you might see a different side of Drew Magary if you know him as a 2015 Chopped champion, a devoted husband, a proud dad of three kids, and the author of two sci-fi novels and a memoir on parenting that relay the inner world of a less brash man. 

We expected the irreverent Drew but were pleasantly surprised to see the other side too.

GUESTS:

  • Drew Magary - Correspondent forGQ and a columnist for Deadspin. He is the author of the memoir Someone Could Get Hurt and the novel The Postmortal and most recently, The Hike. He’s also a 2015 Chopped champion.
