Travis Kennedy - THE WHYTE PYTHON WORLD TOUR

Thoughts from a Page Podcast

In this interview, I chat with Travis Kennedy about ⁠⁠⁠The Whyte Python World Tour⁠, his inspiration for this book, creating Rikki Thunder, what surprised him as he wrote this one, screen adaptation plans, determining when during the Cold War to set the book, his research, and much more.

Travis's recommended reads are:

1. The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne by Ron Currie Jr.
2. Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live by Susan Morrison
3. The Boys of Riverside by ⁠Thomas Fuller
