Hi, it's Minyeon Foguddy, grammar girl.

You've heard me read ads for products that I love and believe in and introduce you

to new things I think you'll love, and I know you'll love this new show that I'm about

to tell you about as much as I do.

Supposedly three out of five people dream of writing a book one day.

If you're listening to this show, there's a chance that you're one of them.

Screenwriter John August was also one of them.

Big Ben's successful with films like Charlie's Angels, Big Fish, and Charlie in the chocolate

factory.

But he had this nagging feeling that he needed to write something different.

The story of how he wrote his book is the subject of a new podcast called Launch.

Launch is about making things and about putting something out into the world and having

no idea what will happen next.

Launch is written and hosted by John August.

I've listened to his script notes podcast for years, so that's how I know you're going

to love his new show.

And we have a special preview of Launch for you today.

You can subscribe to Launch on Apple podcasts or wherever you're listening to this right

now.

Here's the preview.

Hi, my name is John August.

If you Google me, you'll see I'm mostly a screenwriter.
