Episode 17: Fame, Power, and the Carls ft. Author Hank Green
Manage episode 217635710 series 2342155
Chatting with vlogbrothers cohost and debut author Hank Green was such a treat, friends! We talked about his new book, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, and the motivation behind it, what it was like working on it, what it has to say about power, internet fame, and how culture deals with the uncertain and unknown.
This is an important book, listeners, and we're so thankful to Hank for writing it (not to mention it's a total page-turner!).
