Upfront and Unscripted with Benjamin Mee
Benjamin Mee, a former newspaper columnist, is known for his humorous Do It Yourself column in U.K.’s Guardian Weekend. In 2005 he published a collection of these articles in a volume entitled The Call of DIY: A Toolkit of Practical Wisdom. His new book, We Bought A Zoo, chronicles his family’s experience purchasing and resurrecting a rundown zoo with 200 animals.
In this Upfront and Unscripted podcast episode, Thomas Curwen, Features Editor at Large of the L.A. Times, and Mee look back at this unique experience.
At BEA 2008, Mee also stopped by the Authors Studio to discuss We Bought a Zoo. Listen in!
