Jason welcomes novelist Wayne Ng for a rattle about being named Wayne or Jason, starting late, whether or not scribbling is writing, the realities of self-promotion, the ballsiness of writers, ass-kicking kung-fu Asian stereotypes, and the real reason why writers are cool. Big wizard beats, as always, by DJ Max in Tokyo. Thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork & Joe Emde for help with the intro.
