Worlds in Characters
Anthony L. Wolf
Games, films, books, music, feeling hungry and opening the fridge looking for a slice of your favourite cake… All of these have one thing in common: stories. Hello everyone and welcome to my writing podcast! I’m Antonino (or Anthony, if it sounds easier) and, as you can guess, I’m not a native English speaker. I’m also a writer and editor, which means I have my own unique slice of language challenges to overcome. If you can bear listening to my weird accent, I will offer you guys insights into the life of an obsessed storytelling maniac with too many interests. In around 10 minutes.
