Shelby Novak of the Scare You To Sleep podcast sat down with Rodney Barnes, a Hollywood mainstay with an impressive and eclectic resume: from The Boondocks to HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers, and so much in between.
They discuss Barnes’ newest project the thrilling podcast series RUN, FOOL! A weekly compendium of grisly and harrowing tales, all equally frightening, modern ghost stories, each of a different place and period and is brought to you by the award-winning trifecta of Ballen Studios, Campside Media, and AT WILL MEDIA.
Barnes’ graciously doles out bits of advice and knowledge from his years as a writer for TV, movies, graphic novels, and now podcasting. If you’re an aspiring author, I wouldn’t miss it!
