Today's episode is brought to you, fittingly, by Jacoby, a new novel by William Ritter,

which is the first in a series. It's advertised as Sherlock meets Doctor Who, and the reviewer

at Nerdus says that it pretty much fits the bill. He says it's exactly the thing you want

to curl up with a cup of tea and inhale in a window seat on a rainy autumn day.

Mr. Jacoby, the character, the main character, is somewhat tenantish.

Our protagonist is equal parts Molly Hooper, Rose Tyler, and herself,

and the murderous plot beautifully melds modern storytelling and classic fables.

Jacoby by William Ritter is on sale now from Algonquin Books.

My name is Ben Blacker. I'm the creator of the Nerdist Writers Panel series.

Follow me on Twitter at Ben Blacker and let me know who you'd like to see on this

series. I'm always looking for new ideas, for TV show, movies, books, comics, anyone you

like who writes things. Do me a favor, though, and check the archive to see if we've already

had that person on whom you would like to hear from. I am a television writer. I've written for supernatural, super ninjas,

and I'm currently on the Netflix DreamWorks show Puss and Boots. I'm also the co-creator of the

Thrilling Adventure Hour, stage production and the style of old time radio, which is a weekly podcast here

on the Nerdist Network.

Each and every Nerdist Riders Panel benefits 826LA,

the National Writing Program for Students.

Please check them out at 826LA.org.

It's the nerdist writers panel and it's hosted by Ben Blacker where he gets a bunch of writers and he asks him lots of questions and it's starting now so this will be the end of the theme.
