The Interview with Leslie Heaney

[REVISIT] American Heroes - feat. James Patterson and Tim Malloy


Listen Later

In anticipation of Memorial Day, we’re bringing back a powerful and timely conversation with two remarkable storytellers, James Patterson and Tim Malloy.


You know Patterson as one of the bestselling authors of all time, with over 425 million books sold and collaborations with names like Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton. You may know Malloy as a veteran investigative reporter and seven-time Emmy winner.


Together, they’ve created something truly meaningful: American Heroes—a tribute to real-life servicemen and women who have earned the Medal of Honor, Silver Star, and Distinguished Service Cross.


In this episode, Leslie speaks with Patterson and Malloy about the unforgettable stories in their book, the weight of military sacrifice, and why these acts of courage deserve our attention—especially now.


They also reflect on their work on Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein, how their careers began, and their shared passion for telling the stories that matter most.


Funny, thoughtful, and deeply moving—this is an episode that feels especially resonant as we honor those who’ve served. We’re honored to share it again with our listeners. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
