The writing was so alive, it was like a living organism due to the writer embedding himself with this team.
Starting this month, @nytimes will produce select Believer pieces for audio!
We’re kicking things off with a classic from the recent archives: @wtmcgrath’s "American Boys." Head to the NYT Audio app today to hear it for yourself.
