Jon Klassen is one of the greatest visual storytellers out there right now. The illustrator of many wonderful books—from pictures books to middle grade novels—he’s someone we have wanted to have on the show for a long time, and now our dreams are coming true! As usual this episode has plenty of other good stuff like jokes and riddles and snacks and stories and lazy words. So press that play button and enjoy! Happy listening!

This is one of my favorite interviews so far! Jon has such an interesting perspective on story and art. Also, sweet chili Doritos for life.
The Shirley Jackson/BLT/tea conversation was so funny and unexpected. Entertaining as always! We are so happy Withywindle is back!
Custard the Dragon is one of our family favorites!!
Mail men should be called parcel presenters! And if they’re girls they should be parcel presentess!
