| 0:31.0 | Hello, creatives. I'm Joanna Penn, and this is episode number 499 of the podcast, and it is Friday 24th of July 2020 as I record this. |
| 0:41.4 | We are so close to 500. So today I'm talking to Nick Thacker about writing action adventure thrillers and the issue of falling between genres, as well as his 100 year plan, which is a little extreme, how his indie publishing |

| 1:52.6 | requires that right now but it's interesting that this report says each country or market is |
| 1:58.2 | unique in its pattern of consumption and in every country |
| 2:01.4 | local content and language predominate. And as I've said before, and I'm going to come, I'm actually |
| 2:06.7 | going to do a futurist segment today. You can look forward to that in a minute. But basically, |
