I’ve been getting lots of questions about the various aspects of adapting a book for the screen lately, and I’ve been referring them to this article over on the main website – just follow this link for ten solid, relevant thoughts on how to adapt a novel for the screen.

Actually, first of all, what IS a screenwriting podcast?
Go on then, I know I’m Old School, I really do, so I admit I (probably) do get the concept – but I just don’t get the need.
I guess the real question is: why would people WANT screenwriting podcasts?
If they are little videos of people teaching other people the finer points of screenwriting, well, OK, but why would you want that? Surely watching someone chunter on in a video on a titchy little screen on one of those terribly fragile and hugely expensive iPod devices takes five times as long as just reading the equivalent content in one of those light, easy to manage, random access, highly damage resistant, portable information storage devices we used to call ‘books’?
OK OK, talk me through it. Email me, or comment here – if you’re one of those people who really likes screenwriting podcasts, what do you actually like to see in them? Can you see a role for Screenwriting Goldmine podcast or two?
“Screenwriting podcasts” It just sounds wrong.
