#86 No One Here is Like Me with TV writer & author Robert King

This week’s guest on the pod is TV writer and author Robert King. His latest book No One Here Is Like Me dropped just two weeks ago and it is beautiful.

Robert mixes memoir with social commentary in a storytelling style that makes you feel like you’re talking to your best friend.

You’re going to hear us really get into not only his journey, his story and how he’s sharing that story, but you’ll learn about his creative process and how he came to create this book.

Also, Robert is a creative through and through. He writes on the ABC’s television show The Chase, which is a really incredible game show. He wrote for Leslie Jones on Supermarket Sweep and he was the co-head writer for Hulu’s Up Early Tonight, a late night show for moms that was hosted by Abbi Crutchfield.

So you know he has that comedy background, but our conversation tends a little bit more to his serious side as we really get into some of the social issues that he talks about in his book.
