Part Two of a Two-Part Interview with Author Ariel Sarullo
In Podcast 67 (Part 2), we welcome back author Ariel Sarullo to talk about her life in Japan and her behind-the-scenes work at an animation company.

Ariel explains what “anime” means, how Studio Ghibli helped spark her love of Japanese storytelling, and what it really takes to relocate and build a life in another country. She also gives a broad look at the anime production pipeline, from scripts and storyboards to animation and voice recording sessions.

Ariel’s mystery novel, The Wild Rose Alliance, is available on Amazon (ebook, paperback, and Kindle Unlimited).
