172 – Rachel Zegler wasn’t wrong about Snow White being so 1937 16:31

2 dagen geleden16:31

16:31

Disney’s live action remake of Snow White is nearly upon us. This is the most pre-hated movie ever, largely because the film’s star Rachel Zegler disparaged the original film as being “very evidently” a product of 1937. She wasn’t wrong about that — the only problem was her attitude. https://youtu.be/8kSimEe6-Yw…

171 – A Chat with Dave Cullen 50:51

Dave Cullen is a YouTuber who focuses on pop culture and science fiction, and his debut novel Deus V Machina: A Cody Stockton Mystery is one of the most intersting independent books I’ve read in a while. This novel blends multiple genres in creative and unexpected ways, and it will appeal to thoughtful teenagers who are ready to think about complex philosophical ideas but who also want to enjoy some good action and adventure. During our conversation, Dave explains his ideas about how artificial intelligence will affect authors and illustrators, and we focus on the themes and ideas in Deus V Machina rather than its actual plot and characters, because we don’t want to spoil the story for readers. Our conversation is also on YouTube:…

Ben Dixon is back on the show! The author of the Neil Peel book series has now published Vengeance and Honour , a fun sword and sorcery adventure. He also has useful advice for writers who want to publish a children’s book, but aren’t sure about whether to try for traditional publishing or take the leap and go for independent publishing. Ben has put out books both ways, so he is the perfect guest to help me explore the advantages and disadvantages of each way to get a book out in print. Also, this week my kids are reading Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss as well as Shakespeare Stories by Leon Garfield with pictures by Michael Foreman. Find out what the girls loved about these works by two maestros of the English language. My interview with Ben Dixon is also on YouTube. Be sure to subscribe to the channel as I sometimes put extra videos up that don’t come through on the audio feed!…

Also, you’ll hear that co-host Chloë is deepening her appreciation for Enid Blyton books, an author most Americans are unfamiliar with but clearly has a lot to offer middle grades readers!

The Dog Man book series by Dav Pilkey is DUMB. It’s IMMATURE. And so is the new movie adaptation. And those are COMPLIMENTS!! Find out how accurately the comics were adapted to the screen, with input from the 11, 10, 8, and 4 year old experts who came with me to the theater. Apologies for the background noise in this episode — emergency repairs are going on at my house and that’s just how things had to be. I wanted to get this review out in a timely manner to tell parents that this is well worth the expense of a trip to the theater.…

When I was a kid of course I had heard of Shakespeare, but I didn’t think much about it . . . until I saw a scene from Henry V performed in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation . Introducing classic art to kids is easier than you think — it just needs to happen in small, interesting, digestible moments that tempts young readers to discover more. Find out how Star Trek set me on a path to live long and prosper with the works of William Shakespeare.…

166 – Netflix Will Ruin Little House on the Prairie 6:07

7 weeks geleden6:07

6:07

Netflix has a very poor record when it comes to adapting works of classic literature. Instead of coming up with original stories, the streaming giant tends to pick off the skin of beloved characters and use them to act out modern day political and social issues. It’s frustrating to prejudge a show that doesn’t even have a script or a cast yet, but at this point the pattern has been repeated so many times that it’s hard for me not to believe that another bucket of slop is on the way.…

165 – What Should We Do With Neil Gaiman’s Children’s Books? 16:14

Neil Gaiman is one of the most widely read and influential authors of the present day, and he’s written a lot of children’s books. So what should parents, teachers, librarians, and book lovers do with his books now that several women have made similar — and very serious — accusations against him? How can we use this situation as a case study of when it is and isn’t possible to separate works of art from their creators?…

164 – The Cultural Damage of the Los Angeles Fires 11:08

9 weeks geleden11:08

11:08

My heart is breaking for my hometown. First of all for the lives lost, then for the homes and livelihoods lost, but I am also very sad for the damage and threat to the cultural landmarks of Los Angeles. We won’t know the full damage for some time, but here’s a first look at the irreplaceable culture being wiped out by the fires. So far the Zane Grey estate in Altadena has been destroyed. Grey was the home of one of the creators of the genre of Westerns, and his home was a beautiful Spanish revival mansion. Also gone is the Will Rogers ranch house in the Pacific Palisades, which was a beloved California State Park property that served as the starting point for many hiking trails. Luckily the Getty Villa and Getty Center are safe as of the time of recording, thanks to the careful construction of the buildings and the vigilance of staff. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which has inspired too many science fiction authors to count, is also safe for the moment. Many other beloved and inspirational places have been lost, though, such as Christmas Tree Lane and the Bunny Museum. And many famous film sites in the Malibu hills are lost or under threat. Landmarks are a huge part of why Los Angeles is such a special place, and it’s terrible to lose so many of them. This is an unusual episode of the show but I had to take a moment to mourn the loss of important literary sites in these terrible fires.…

163 – Did You Resolve to Write a Children’s Book? 9:04

11 weeks geleden9:04

9:04

Have you made a New Year’s Resolution? I stopped making them, oddly enough, because I go to the gym a lot and accidentally noticed a few things about goal setting and motivation. Many of you may have a goal to write a children’s book, and I think that’s great. That’s why I’ve decided to make amateur and independent authors the theme for the show this year. I think everyone has stories to tell. But like those who join a gym every January and then quit in frustration by February, aspiring authors can sabotage themselves by not having a clear goal in mind or a realistic, enjoyable way to attain it. I want to do what I can this year to help all of us become the best storytellers we can be by inviting experienced writers and editors on to talk about how to avoid amateur mistakes and how to develop writing skills in a disciplined, enjoyable, sustainable way. I also hope to encourage writers to give up the all-or-nothing mentality that makes them think that writing must bring fame and fortune or it isn’t worthwhile. I think quite the opposite. All stories have value, especially when they deepen our relationships with friends and family.…
