Irritating
There’s some good info here, some just generally interesting stuff. But generally I find this show annoying. They mention that a lot of people would like to publish a book. But the majority of them don’t have the advantages this guy has. They’re not successful screen writers who just have to ask and they get an agent dropped in their lap. Also, after the end of the first episode of he had said “I’m still that boy in the woods” one more time I would have stopped listening entirely. But as he talks about his search for the perfect font and even commissioning his own font, it just feels like a guy oblivious to his own privilege and under the false impression that people are interested in hearing about it. And all this for a book that is basically the exact same plot as Lumberjanes.
