Listen "Fish Stories"
Episode Synopsis
Joey Garnavillo loves to talk, and he’ll happily talk for hours about just about anything … except fishing, the thing he does the most and knows the most about. And for the longest time, that bugged me.
“It’s a thing I like to do, not talk about,” he’d say, and on one hand, I get it. I’ve read enough Hemingway-on-writing to know that it’s best not to lose the good stuff by talking it away. On the other hand, it was hard for me not to feel he was being selfish, given how many great stories he must have.
And while I wasn’t going to jeopardize my friendship with Joey by continuing to pester him, that doesn’t mean I gave up, either.
