Today's main event is a conversation with author and audiobook narrator John R. Erickson. John published his first book and audiobook of the Hank the Cowdog character in 1983 and has been going strong ever since. J.D. talks with him about the series' origins, his work on a cattle ranch, the part that the oral storytelling tradition played in his approach to writing, how the Hank the Cowdog audio drama podcast came about, and much more. In addition to the interview, J.D. shares a whole passel of audio drama updates, addresses feedback from Jeremy and Blake, and gives a monologue about audio drama as content marketing for brands.
