Welcome back to the final part of my interview with Philip Eil, an award-winning freelance journalist based in his hometown, Providence, Rhode Island and the author of “Prescription for Pain” and a work in progress about the history of the Wyatt Detention Facility, a maximum-security prison in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Today we’re going to get a glimpse at where Phil’s throughline is leading him next and end with my fast final five questions about what he’s been reading, watching, listening to, and fantasizing about eating.
We talked about:
- The local nonprofit news outlet he just joined the board of
- Stumbling into being an expert on AI and misinformation (book him for a talk at your local library!)
- Why it’s helpful to think about the people whose careers you envy
- The parts of being an author he finds especially rewarding and thrilling
- The link between clutter and mental health
- The novels he recently binged, the brand of coffee he swears by, and the absolute best part of his week
