I love all my guests on my podcast This Week in Media, but I am especially excited to have the award-winning young adult author John Green as a guest on the Nov. 30 edition of our show. In addition to being the author of three fantastic books for teens, he also is a popular YouTuber. My good friend Kevin Nalty helped me secure him for the show. And in this episode we will likely focus on media stories related to publishing, books, YouTube and video. So what do you want me to ask him? What should we cover? Help me plan!

hey that tis awesome! i met john and he is great. i think you should talk about the themes and what he tried to have the reader get out of his books. especially alaska and papertowns. or you can ask him what theme park he would break into if he could. dftba!
talk about nerdfighteria, and why him and hank started it. also, what inspired him to write about such blunt topics?
Hello! I am a nerdfighter & a huge fan of John’s. Thank you for interviewing him! My questions:
-Who are your favorite poets?
-I just read Hamlet for the first time, and loved it! Can you discuss if/how it has influenced you or your books?
-What will the publishing industry look like in five years? Ten?
-What advice would you give a person (me!) striving to work in publishing?
-Why do you think so many people have become so passionate about nerdfighting?
-Where do you see yourself in ten years?
-How is Willy doing?
Thanks again!
