NEW PODCAST: An Interview with author Penny Penniston

Today I had the opportunity to interview Penny Penniston, the author of “Talk the Talk: A Dialogue Workshop for Screenwriters.”  It was great to hear a perspective about how to write good dialogue from someone who thinks about it day in and day out.

We had a great time chatting about David Mamet, status, David Mamet, and why good dialogue is like wine.  And David Mamet.

This is the first of a series of podcasts I’m calling “MWP Authors Speak Out.”  Interspersed with my other subjects, I’m going to interview authors from the Michael Wiese Productions stable of writers.  If you don’t think you know who or what MWP is…well…you’re wrong!  You probably own several of their books such as “Save the Cat”, “The Writer’s Journey”, and “Your Screenplay Sucks” among many, many others.  MWP is also the publisher of my upcoming book, “My Story Can Beat Up Your Story!”

You can hear my interview with Penny by CLICKING HERE or by searching for the podcast under the name “My Story Can Beat Up Your Story!” on iTunes.  Enjoy!
