    (Re-release) Interview with Scott Ryan

    Initially posted Mar 9, 2023 on YouTube under the title "Work, Play, and Creativity (with Scott Ryan)" Description: Scott Ryan (BlueRoseMag.com) wrote his first book at 8 years old and has been creating ever since. A cultivator of ideas - his own and the writers’ he publishes - Scott is rarely without a project, a deadline, or a laugh. I had a great time chatting with Scott about family, work, creativity, and his latest book, "Lost Highway: Fist of Love."

    (Re-release) Interview with John Thorne

    Initially posted Oct 25, 2022 on YouTube under the title "A Call for Help: John Thorne on the art of analysis" Description: John Thorne answers the call and helpfully shares how he approaches challenging texts. We discuss John’s newest book (http://tiny.cc/d270vz), a 300+ page interpretive review of “Twin Peaks: The Return” (2017), and even non-viewers of Twin Peaks will find value in John’s mindset and approach to analysis. It was a true pleasure talking with one of my favorite writers!

    (Re-release) "Take the Ring" interview

    Initially posted Mar 14, 2022 on YouTube under the title "Passion, Craft, and the Pleasures of Doing Your Own Thing" Description: A chat with artist Jeremiah Beaver (Take the Ring) about his craft. If you like Twin Peaks, you've likely admired his video essays and wondered how certain elements or ideas were accomplished. Jeremiah's an interesting guy, and this peek behind the curtain will likely inspire and motivate you to keep (or start) doing your own thing!
