Mark Leiren-Young on Spiderman (and much, much more!)

Joe and Mark are joined by a veritable Swiss Army Knife of writers, Mark Leiren-Young. Mark has written in multiple genres and formats, including television, animation, journalism, comedy, theater, and film. And he loves him some Spider-Man. Oh, and Kurt Vonnegut too, so you know that Mark LY gets along with both the lads like a house on fire! They NERD OUT in this podcast, talking about how Vonnegut influenced Mark LY in his writing. The three discuss Mark LY’s career, which has included stints writing for television, animation, and they even get into how he became the media’s go-to guy for discussions of how to save the Orca. Lately, Mark has been teaching at the University of Victoria, doing courses on the storytelling in Pixar, DC and Marvel universes, which gives the three an opportunity to talk about the Batman too. Listen in on this fun and rollicking conversation!
