This former Michigander, now based in Chicago, recently published his first novel for adult readers and it's a time-bending/mind-bending amalgam of a corporate thriller, existential futurism, philosophic psychedelia, quantum mechanics, and, yes, romance! | James Kennedy is the author of The Order of Odd-Fish and the founder and director of the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. Before becoming a writer, he was a software engineer with a degree in physics and philosophy, subjects he continues to explore in his writing. https://jameskennedy.com/books/ 

Matt and James examine James's first novel to see if it matches some of the writing rules we've discussed over the years.

One of the "deepest" episodes Odd Fish has ever done? You bet. Along with our new guest, Cole Bennette, we dig deep into the concept of interesectionality and how it has played out over the last few decades in terms of race, sexuality, gender, and more. Investigating how intersectionality has manifested itself in the current social/political/environmental climate, we understand our own place within the social heirarchy. Please don't cancel us for statements made in this episode :)

Our three weeks of early voting start tomorrow! On this episode of Odd Fish we sit down with Andre Rezaie to discuss some of the candidates in what he describes as "the most important election of our lifetimes." We look at representatives running for congress in battleground districts across Texas, while also touching on the Texas senate election and the United States presidential election. This episode is packed full of informative content on district representatives, so you can hopefully be a little better informed before heading to the polls. From all of us at Odd Fish, please go vote!

What's up Odd Fish! Here is the in-depth conversation I had with my Ex Matthew, about our relationship & places we both could grow in our future romantic relationships. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/oddfishgodfish/support

Welcome to Season 3 of Odd Fish! In this episode, Rish and Pranav dive into the world of Zoom university and virtual learning. Life has evidently changed over the last six months so we share some of our listeners experiences and how we've dealt with productivity, mental health, and UT's COVID-19 tactics. Listen now to learn about our top-secret and extremely effective conversational concept: 90/10.

On this episode of Odd Fish, Pranav and Rish discuss the state of the country in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. They discuss the importance of protesting, donating, and being an advocate against racism with a particular emphasis on the responsibility of Asian Americans in the fight for systemic change. Remember, if you're neutral in situations of injustice you're on the side on the oppressor!

After a 3 week break, Odd Fish is back with an update on the quarantine life! In this episode, we check in with each other on the ups and downs of adjusting to a "new normal" during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we look into ways to find solace or normality in an abnormal time.

Welcome to the first ever long-distance episode of Odd Fish! From teo corners of the world, Bee Cave TX and Frisco TX, Rish and Pranav discuss COVID-19 as it relates to educational concerns, especially for college students. The two work through the difficulties of the current situation to show that social distancing can't separate real friends.

As opposed to the standard Odd Fish clownery, this episode deals with a topic that we take very seriously. On the episode Pranav interviews Cullen Woodward, a close friend and history/philosophy student at Tulane University, on why mental health issues such as depression are so prevalent amongst college students and what can be done about it on an individual level.

As this year (and this decade) comes to a close, the two of us take a look at some of the most significant things to come out of 2019 and the 2010s as a whole. Both in the context of large-scale events and situations unique to our own lives, we wrap up the decade with our "charming" dialogue and discuss the future of Odd Fish while we're on break.

Today’s episode is a bit of a departure, because I’m talking to my pal James Kennedy, author of The Order of Odd-Fish and creator of The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. The festival asks kids to make films inspired by great works of children’s literature, so I thought our listeners might be interested.

Spooky October offerings continue with a book that Kate calls "Hunger Games . . . but cats!" Special guest James Kennedy joins us for a talk about cannibalistic kitties, stating accurately, "Of all of the children's books, maybe all the books ever written, this one has the highest body count." Along the way you are privy to an acapella rendition of the theme song, bad John Travolta puns, and lots of Yacht Rock. - Be sure to read The Order of Odd Fish by James Kennedy. SLJ called it "depraved"!

Kids make 90-second (approximately) videos of Newbery Award and Honor books and then James travels around the country showing them in his film festival. Honestly, for a kid to see their video up on the big screen, there's nothing to compare to that.

Matt Bird (author of "The Secrets of Story: Innovative Tools for Perfecting Your Fiction and Captivating Readers") and James Kennedy (author of "The Order of Odd Fish") debate about the best ways to write. In this episode: Should heroes try the easy way in the second quarter of a story?

James Kennedy (@iamjameskennedy), author of The Order of Odd Fish and founder of the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival (@90secondnewbery), stops by the podcast to talk about the stink of worthiness, blood-thirsty monsters, and the most frequently adapted Newbery winner.

“We have all of these weird urges or thoughts or ideas that don’t fit and you’re not allowed to say publicly. But if you can get that all out in not just a safe way, but a constructive way, you can use that to make something through stories,” says Author James Kennedy, creator of the 90 Second Newbery Award Film Festival.

You’ll have to listen to discover   90 Second Newbery Awards The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival is an annual video contest in which kid filmmakers create weird movies that tell the entire stories of Newbery-winning books in about 90 seconds.
