Shane Allan Carlson created Ready Writer One as a weekly interview show for fans who love the worlds on the page and the people who build them. Through humor, honest questions, and RPG-inspired Character Sheets, each episode digs into the struggles, triumphs, and lived experiences that shape the stories we binge. Whether it is a one-on-one Author Interview, a Multiplayer session with a narrator or co-author, or a Blind Date with an Author special, Shane keeps the focus on connection over marketing. Less pitch deck. More party banter. When he is not recording, you will usually find him reading the next LitRPG rabbit hole, sketching episode questions, or rolling dice for fun.
