Today’s WriteLane podcast is part two of a discussion about story ideas and how to find great ones.

The weekly podcast features Lane DeGregory, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter at the Tampa Bay Times and frequent Poynter faculty member, discussing her stories and answering questions. The focus is on craft.

In this week’s podcast, DeGregory talks about a difficult subject (Evel Knievel) and a personal essay.
