This week, Alan and Lionel are joined by Patrick Radden Keefe, journalist and bestselling author. Patrick discusses the real-life story behind his book London Falling, which explored the mysterious death of a teenage boy in London. He explains the process behind investigative non-fiction, navigating ethical and legal obstacles, and how he gained the trust of his sources—including two grieving parents.&nbsp; Plus, is reporting in Britain is harder than in the United States? And how young journalists can take on tough stories without the backing of big institutions?
