Summary

Ryan sits down with Zach Weinersmith to discuss his new kids book up now on Kickstarter called Augie and the Green Knight, which features a smart and daring female protagonist. The conversation predictably rambles to include mentions of the following:

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight -or- the book the inspired it all!
The Once and Future King; which also features Knight(s)
Gender Development, which contains facts, not fiction!
And a comic with an art style similar to Boulet called March by Congressman Joe Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell

Most importantly, support women in science, support a book trying to drive forward that agenda, and support yourself. Give yourself a pat on the back. It's been a long week, you've earned it.

0:00.0	Hey, Pileo Posse, it's Ryan here. The episode you're about to listen to is a conversation
0:03.6	between myself and Zach Wienersmith about his new book that is now available for, I guess,
0:09.5	pre-purchase on Kickstarter. We recorded this episode the night before the Kickstarter went live,
0:15.5	and it's only been a few days, but the Kickstarter is doing very, very, very, very well.
0:19.9	So it doesn't necessarily need you to go fund it,
0:23.6	but it's a very worthwhile project,
0:25.6	and you should fund it because there's some really amazing stretch goals
0:28.3	that'll be made available once the book gets even more funding than it already has.
0:32.3	So hopefully you've already heard about it.
0:33.8	I think this interview gives you a little bit more information
0:35.8	than you might get in other places, and it's just a really fun conversation between myself and Zach. Really hope you
0:41.0	enjoy it. Really hope you go check out the book. And thanks for listening. Bye. Well, not bye. I mean,
0:45.7	show is going to play now. So just don't, just keep listening. It's all going to work out. It's
0:49.8	going to be great.
0:50.9	From science sort of.com, you're listening to Science Sort of.
0:54.7	You're listening to Science Sort of.
1:07.6	Which I can say now, which makes you sound like
1:10.9	historical, I think, somehow.
1:13.6	Yep. Yep. Indeed.
1:14.6	Inform me that you are kick-starting a new book and that that was a worthy topic of
1:19.3	conversation for some reason.
1:21.4	It might be. So it's a kid's book, but it has a lot of science jokes in it and I think that's the connection
