Summary
An in-depth chat with author Arthur Phillips (The Tragedy of Arthur; The Egyptologist; Prague) about Shakespeare, making work of writing, unreliable narrators, and more. Recorded at a cafe in Brooklyn on May 11, 2013. There is a lot of background noise in this interview! You are warned! It gets a bit better halfway through, but Arthur had such great things to say, that we wanted to make sure this got to you, dear listener.

| 0:04.8 | It's the nerdist writers panel on the nerdest podcast channel. |
| 0:10.1 | Ben Blacker talking riding with writers. |
| 0:13.8 | Riders talking writing can get pretty exciting. |
| 0:17.4 | The talk can be the lightning. |
| 0:19.2 | It's very, very frightening. |
| 0:22.1 | Ben Blacker talking riding with writers. Yeah. |
| 0:26.7 | Hey, everybody. It's me, Ben. This is a interesting conversation with the author, Arthur Phillips, |
| 0:34.6 | who is one of my favorite authors working today, go check out his books. |
| 0:38.9 | We talk about all of them on this podcast, which I recorded while I was in Brooklyn with |
| 0:44.0 | The Thilling Adventure Hour back in May. |
| 0:47.2 | It was a really interesting conversation. |
| 0:49.6 | It was a lot of fun. |

| 1:06.3 | nothing I can do about it, but the conversation was so engaging, in my opinion, that I did want to share |
| 1:12.8 | it with you. Probably if you listen to it on headphones, you will be driven insane. I listened to it off |
| 1:18.6 | of my computer, and it was absolutely totally fine. So I recommend probably not listen to it in headphones, |
| 1:24.2 | but you guys will do what you want. So I do hope you enjoy it, |
| 1:27.8 | despite the intrusive background noise. There is a little kid who is sitting behind us at this |
