This week’s guest is Artie Bennett. Despite the titles of his books, like Poopendous!, Belches, Burps, and Farts-Oh My!, The Butt Book, and Peter Panda Melts Down, Artie is a true lover of words. He was a prodigy as a child. A word prodigy. How does that reveal itself in a child that grows up to be a writer? He becomes a crossword puzzle creator. He’s a punster and a rhyming champ.

Artie and I talk about

• Artie’s obscure but fascinating claim to fame (every writer should have this talent).
• How he told Abe Minzer, his best friend about getting his first NY Times Crossword puzzle printed.
• Artie’s scientific scatological interests leading to bestsellers!
