Excellent interview with Gary!
What a wonderful episode! I think I’ve shared it with everyone I possibly can think of. And I would like to be Gary Schmidt’s new best friend. What a lovely man. It doesn’t hurt that I think Orbiting Jupiter is close to perfection.
Hi Alison – thanks for listening and sharing! Gary is a good guy, and it was nice of him to share the story behind Orbiting Jupiter. We’re so happy to be able to share it.
