As part of the Winter/Spring 2022 Season, bestselling author Brad Meltzer joined the National Writers Series in early April (which explains the mention of snow at the beginning of the episode!).
In this conversation, Brad and guest host John Searles talk about Brad's career throughout the years, what he uses to motivate himself to write every day, the research that goes into his books, the many people he's met throughout his career, and about his famed characters Zig and Nola at the center of his newest book: "The Lightning Rod."
We also learn about his time working with former American presidents, how he found the American flag that flew over Ground Zero following 9/11, and the reason he puts a reference to Michigan in every one of his books.
