Host Skye Pillsbury talks with James Kim, the creator of fiction podcast Moonface. James reveals:

• Why it felt important to tell a personal “slice of life” story — and why he created it as fiction;
• What inspired the show’s sound design;
• The reasons his parents haven’t listened to the show (yet);
• Whether he named his lead character “Paul” after another fiction podcast creator.

Watch the video trailer for Moonface. Listen to James’ award-winning nonfiction piece First Language Attrition.
