Nat interviews – and welcome Mr. Media fans

For those of you coming here from hearing about The AAUGH Blog on the Mr. Media podcast – welcome, and I hope you enjoy!

The book is slated to hit bookstores on October 25th. For those who like to order from your favorite online sites, here are the links to do so now:
