On this edition of the Talkies, guest host Max Pringle speaks with author Jane Leavey. She’s a former Washington Post sports writer and author most recently of “The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the world he created.” This biography of arguably the most celebrated figure in the history of American sports uses newly unearthed archive material to give a well-balanced glimpse into the life of a man who redefined the game of baseball, whilst redefining what it meant to be a celebrity at the dawn of the mass media era.
