Page Break Podcast Episode 25: Robert Jackson Bennett
The twenty-fifth episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is epic fantasy author—and a friend for many years—Robert Jackson Bennett.
Robert’s career began back in 2010 with the award-winning Mr. Shivers and The Company Man, followed by The Troupe and American Elsewhere. He then took a turn into epic fantasy with the Divine Cities Trilogy, and is currently two books into the Founders Trilogy which concludes in June 2022 with Locklands.
Robert and I talk about his early work in literary fantasy, keeping his day job while navigating his successful writing career, and his interests in technology, climate change, and politics. We also cover the way we use our writing to discover the way we feel about the world, and condensing real-world problems into digestible narratives.
Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.
Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.
Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
