The Dad Lit Pod with Daniel Roberts

One of my two greatest friends in the world, and long-time editing partner, Daniel Roberts has a great new podcast for serious readers–and writers–of all manner of literature. I have been a guest multiple times, but don’t let that put you off!

Many of the guests are big time writers and industry insiders–and one of Dan’s listeners wrote intro and outro music for the pod, which is awesome!

I recently reread this book after more than 20 years and I still find it to be Clancy's most interesting novel, if only--for no other reason--because the villains are environmentalists. This idea is so rare in modern writing and story-telling that on ...more
