Weird Al for all! On this episode, we are joined by Wes Locher, the author of the new biography aimed at middle-grade readers, Who Is "Weird Al" Yankovic?, from the Who HQ series of nonfiction children's books. He talks with writer and bookseller Justin Remer about the process of researching and writing nonfiction for kids, as well as exploring his favorite aspects of writing about Weird Al. Since Justin has his own book on Weird Al (geared at adults) coming out later this year, they have a lot in common to talk about.

Pick up a copy of the book at Skylight or order the audiobook version from Libro.fm.

Hosted and produced by Justin Remer.
Recorded remotely via Zencastr.

Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire.
Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band.
