The Readers and Writers Paradise Podcast 009: Shredderman by Wendelin Van Draanen

April 9, 2014 by Daniel Johnston 1 Comment

Hi everyone, thanks so much for checking out my podcast. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite book series ever. You heard that right; not just kids book series, but any books.

Shredderman by Wendelin Van Draanen has inspired me a ton, and this website would probably not exist without it. In Shredderman, a fourth grader named Nolan Byrd decides to set up a website called shredderman.com to expose the worst bully at his school Bubba Bixby.

Even though Nolan is a nerd at school, everyone loves his website and Bubba even ends up getting suspended. Nolan later solves a local crime, blows the lid on a man known as “the mole,” and even helps the government when people sell classified documents.

Nolan’s website turns him into an awesome force for good. I’d recommend this series mostly for 2nd to 6th grade boys, and for any type of reader, reluctant or compulsive. I talk about it in more detail in the podcast.

The Readers and Writers Paradise Podcast 005-Improve Your Writing with NaNoWriMo

March 12, 2014 by Daniel Johnston Leave a Comment

Hi everyone, thanks so much for checking out my podcast. I’ll have a new one every Wednesday, so make sure to stay tuned.

Today I’m talking about my experience with NaNoWriMo, a program which most of you have probably heard of that allows you to write an entire novel in just one month.

For years I was struggling to write a novel…and then I did NaNoWriMo. It not only gave me more confidence in my writing but also improved my writing skills greatly.

Please let me know what you think of the podcast in the comments below. Also, if you’d like to be on the show, just let me know and I’ll try to get you on 🙂

I’m Starting a Podcast-Info and Episode 001!

February 12, 2014 by Daniel Johnston Leave a Comment

Hey guys, I’m super excited to announce that today I’m launching my podcast! I’ve wanted to do a podcast for a while but just haven’t had the time to do it. Well; now I do, and here it is!

I don’t want to write too much because I explain most of it in the podcast, but the goal of the podcast is to present my book reviews in another media for people to access. What I’m most excited about is being able to interview people. For my next episode I’ve got an interview with Erik from This Kid Reviews Books that I’m really excited about.

I’ll be publishing a new episode of the podcast every Wednesday, so stay tuned and here’s the first one! I’m submitting it to iTunes right now so that you can listen to it easier.
