Page Break Episode 13: Robert Brockway
The thirteenth episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is novelist and comedy writer Robert Brockway.
Robert got his start during what many listeners will think of as the golden age of Cracked.com, editing and writing funny articles that were read by hundreds of thousands of people every week. Robert’s comedy chops have since moved on to co-found 1900HotDog.com. Robert is also the author of the post-apocalyptic horror novel Carrier Wave and the Vicious Circuit, an urban fantasy series from Tor Books.
Robert discussed his early days at Cracked.com; the responsibility of making people laugh; the difficulty of managing mental and physical health while creating, and the horrors of being thrown into the deep end of public speaking as a new author.
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!
