Author and Journalist Dan Robson talks about the miracle of The Athletic (and its takeover by the subscription-driven New York Times), the differences between a ‘book’ and a ‘feature’ piece (spoiler: feature equals a book chapter), his books on (and subsequent friendships with) the Killer Dougie Gilmour, Buck Martinez, Nazem Kadri, Dave The Hammer Schultz, his features on Eugene Melnyk, The Great One #99, Vladdy Jr, having to cut off Wayne Gretzky at Fenway Park, Doug Gilmour’s key to his own private bar, and some speculation on how Maple Leafs fans will eventually look back at Mitchell Marner!
