My friend Ron Yeo sent me this link and now I’m sharing it with you. Only 19 minutes but a wonderful 19 minutes with Andrew Stanton, producer/screenwriter of Finding Nemo, Wall-e, and Toy Story. The beginning joke is a tad graphic, so if you get offended at these sorts of jokes, skip to two minutes in. It’ll be worth your time.

Keija Parsinnen and Eric Weiner, on Writers on Writing: Podcast is up!
Keija Parsinnen, author of the novel,The Ruins of Us, and Eric Weiner, author of the narrative nonfiction book, Man Seeks God, talk about their books, read from their books, and discuss the art and craft–and business–of writing with me. I loved talking with both of them. It’s a week later and I’m still thinking about Keija’s novel. Such a different culture and place. The closest I may ever get to the Middle East is via novels and The Ruins of Us took me there.
