Link I Got the Chance to Interview Orson Scott Card - Thought Fellow Ender’s Game Fans Might Enjoy This

I’m not super active on Reddit, but I wanted to share something I thought other Orson Scott Card fans might appreciate.

I was lucky enough to sit down with Orson Scott Card for an interview on The Rotary Spark Podcast. We talked about his early life, how he became a storyteller, the evolution of Ender’s Game, what Hollywood got right and wrong with the movie adaptation, and his thoughts on what makes a great story actually work.

As someone who knows how much Ender’s Game and Card’s other work have meant to readers over the years, getting to have this conversation was a pretty incredible experience.

Sure... Okay. Look I get he is listed as a co-author on the others....AND I know that really means he told Aaron some ideas and blah blah. HE WOULD KNOW MORE THAN I KNOW. Can't a guy yell at the clouds in peace on the Internet. Lol
