Stephen G. Michaud is an internationally recognized author, co-author, reporter, and editor whose decades-long career credits comprise twenty books and multiple contributions to periodicals. The New York Daily News named The Only Living Witness (a biography of serial killer Ted Bundy co-authored with Hugh Aynesworth) one of the ten best true-crime books ever written. Ted Bundy: Conversations with a Killer, a compilation of Michaud and Aynesworth’s death-row interviews with Bundy, was a New York Times bestseller, and in January 2019, Netflix premiered it as a four-part series of the same name. Stephen’s latest book is Robert's Story: A Texas Cowboy's Troubled Life and Horrifying Death.
Among other things, Stephen and Carter discuss Stephen’s early journalism days, how he was able to get in and interview Ted Bundy, and his experiences with different types and genres of writing. At the end of the conversation, they tell a gradually more intense story starting with a sentence from All The Brittle Pieces by Erik K. Hale.
