Andy Weir

Andy Weir

By Jeff Umbro & Kyle Craner / The Podglomerate

Andy Weir is the author of The Martian and, most recently, Artemis. Though he's wanted to be a writer his whole life, it was just a few years ago with the runaway success of The Martian that he was able to do so. He's a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of subjects such as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. This week, he chats with us about his career, his work, and the one story he's always struggled to tell. The music at the top and the bottom of the hour is brought to you by Ryan Dann of Holland Patent Public Library. You can find him online at wwwhollandpatentpubliclibrary.com. The music in the middle of the show is from Ben Sound. You can find him online at www.bensound.com.    *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.
