WPC-047 - Talking Martian with Andy Weir (the anniversary episode!)

Andy Weir was a programmer who just wanted to share a cool story on his blog. So he posted a new installment whenever it was written, took feedback from his readers, and kept repeating until the whole thing was done. From that, things just exploded. Now, with a major motion picture starring Matt Damon, set for worldwide release on 11 September 2015, Andy has realized a lifelong dream of becoming a full-time author. In this special one-year anniversary episode of the Wordslinger Podcast, Kevin chats up Andy on his book's success, movie magic, and the hidden coolness of Aquaman. Plus, there may or may not be a lot of Firefly references in this episode. Just sayin'. CONNECT WITH ANDY ONLINE: andyweirauthor.com Twitter: @andyweirauthor GOT A QUESTION FOR KEVIN AND HIS GUESTS?
