Cute New World: Google’s Zelda-esque Quest Maps

Midcoast Interviews: Ben Dudley

Ben Dudley is the creator of the comedy shorts known as  “Life Hacks” on Youtube.  He is a writer currently about to graduate from the MFA program at University of Cincinnati, where he does standup, writes fiction, and creates videos.

I recently invaded his home and asked him questions about the foremost problems facing humanity, his comedic influences, etc.  in the name of the midcoast.

He also edited three comedic versions of the interview that are hilarious.
