John U. Bacon has written fourteen books on sports, business, health, and history, including seven National Bestsellers. His latest book is "THE GALES OF NOVEMBER: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald," and comes out October 7, 2025. Bacon's radio essays earned him NPR's award for best commentary in 2014. He appears often on national TV, gives speeches across North and South America, and taught 15 years at the University of Michigan, where he won the 2009 Golden Apple Award for "exceptional teaching." In 2006, he was inducted into the Ann Arbor Huron High School Hall of Fame for turning around the hockey team, and in 2022 he gave the commencement address at Michigan Tech, where he is a trustee. Bacon is a decent hockey player, a mediocre Spanish speaker, and a poor piano player, but that has not prevented him from enjoying all three.
