Butcher is always so generous with his time and willingness to tell the same stories, but it’s SO refreshing to land on an interview that doesn’t make him do so, and is instead really well-prepared, provided new insights, and is just fun.
Fantastic job on your Interview! This conversation with Jim was a breath of fresh air in a sea of previous Q&As where the same questions and answers have been regurgitated ad infinitum. Really appreciated your upping the level of difficulty and veering into unexplored thoughts/questions territory.
Damn you can just really tell when an interviewer is up to date with an author's responses to things, great job Jake. You and Jim have a great rapport and makes the whole thing feel like its just two people goofing off.
I opened this video thinking it will be a video of Jake answering frequently asked questions about Jim Butchers work and almost fell of my chair when I saw it’s an interview with the man himself. I’ll go make some lunch and watch this while having lunch… can’t wait ! Congratulations Jake for getting an interview with Butcher !
Best interview I’ve seen with Jim. I’ve searched for his interview in the past and it’s always the same boring questions that he has the same answers for. I don’t blame him that’s what I’d do too for those interviews. 😂 So I’m mad I’m just now finding this video. Well done!
Not a huge fan of the series anymore, but just want to say that I'm happy for you to interview one of your favourite authors and that Jim Butcher seems like a very chill guy :)
Thanks! I gained some sympathy for people who got repeat answers because while preparing I kept coming up with questions and realizing they would run into a default answer
Thanks! The number of times while prepping I wrote a question down and then realized the answer would pivot to a stock answer gave me some sympathy for pervious interviewers.
very cool that not only did you get him on the channel, but I'm only 3 mins in so far, and you are already asking questions that show you've paid attention to his other interviews. Excellent!!
I have watched a truly unreasonable amount of Jim Butcher interviews, and it always tilts me when people ask authors the same questions they have been asked 200 times
So happy for you man! Will have to listen to this tomorrow. But now that I'm here in the comments I will hear no slander against the queen of air and darkness from other commenters. I have spoken!
Jake, this was bloody wonderful. I'm thrilled that you had the chance to talk to Jim, I can only imagine how amazing that must have felt for you. For me, it was fantastic hearing Jim talking about the character growth and back stories, and LOVED hearing him talk about how he views the pact between author and reader. Thank you so much for sharing. P.S. godammit, now I have to read Cinder Spires.
Haven't watched this yet but this makes me so happy. I know you are up to date on the latest WoJs, so I know you are going to get some new stuff out of him.
@@jakebishop7822 This move has defeated me forever in trying to top you with my own Butcher fan credibility. If we were playing chess this was your checkmate. 😂
This is great, Tricky, can just tell you're both really enjoying it, congrats. I really must read the Olympian affair, just as soon as I can buy books again
Was really hoping to learn what character surprised him the most and how he came up with Codex Alera, but the questions you did as were pretty cool too.
@samuelleask1132 Jim was once asked what Harry thought of more contemporary fantasy authors, and it is confirmed that Harry really likes Sanderson, but thinks he's a little naive, and overly optimistic
@@samuelleask1132 Sorry, I don't remember, if I had to guess it was probably the reddit AMA he did leading up to Peace Talks, but that is just my guess based on my gut feeling on where specifically I saw something I would have seen years ago
GREAT JOB!!! I want to know when Harry and Rivershoulders are going to train together :D I am going through my 7th read through the series while waiting for the next book and I still keep picking up things I didn't before. Jim is an great writer and you did a great job interviewing him!
Do you go from start to finish every time? There are some I have only read a couple times, but I have read Changes like 12 times, Skin Game 11 times and still pick things up reading them
Me: trying to keep my number of series I'm currently reading as low as possible. *watches this* Me: Damn, kinda wanna read Codex Alera and Cinder Spires ASAP
I wish jim butchers lectures would be available online. Does anyone know if they are? As er person living on the other side of the planet, it can be hard to attend.
I don't think they are combined into one place, but most of them are on youtube somewhere. Although he doesn't really do lectures, he just answers questions
If Jim’s talking about inconsistency in character then why were so many characters acting whack in peace talks? And even Dresdens energy in. Battleground. Didn’t feel like a Dresden files book. Details also inconsistent and sentence structure just weird around some characters…. Interesting he brought this up when the last ptbg felt sloppy ish Brilliant interview ❤️

Thanks so much. I don't know if I would have the patience to answer the same questions as well as Jim normally does over and over

Gracias, very sad we didn't learn about which Dresden character ended up doing more than Jim expected.
THE LAST PART IS SO TORTOUROUS IMA DIE, GOOD JOB JAKE! hahahha
Holy crap this was legendary-fantastic interview and it was great hearing Jim say some new things he’s never talked about before.
Gracias

Amazing interview, with that look inside Jim's mind. I can feel twelve months is gonna be great
I'm so excited
Thank you so much for this! One of the better interviews with Jim, as you delighted him (and us all!) with your fresh take. Really enjoyed.
Thanks!
Whoa!! This must have been an absolute highlight for you. Awesome job dude.
It very much was! Thanks!
Jim really is a wonderful author. His son James is really doing well too.
Yes, I own James's book, I gotta get to it at some point
Not a huge fan of the series anymore, but just want to say that I'm happy for you to interview one of your favourite authors and that Jim Butcher seems like a very chill guy :)
Thank you
Extremely entertaining interview! Great job not asking the same questions for the same answers.
Thanks! I gained some sympathy for people who got repeat answers because while preparing I kept coming up with questions and realizing they would run into a default answer
Awesome interview! As others have said, well done on getting away from FAQ and getting so much completely new material.
Thanks! The number of times while prepping I wrote a question down and then realized the answer would pivot to a stock answer gave me some sympathy for pervious interviewers.
Loved the interview!!! Do you think you could get James Marsters on? He did most of the audio books for The Dresden series.

That last bit gave me chills
The bit where Jim said how he would be mean?
How he might end the series
@@keithsharpe1766 that would be very mean, and I doubt he does it like that

I made sure to ask about Alera's origin story, and which character ended up doing more than he expected!
Bragging rights for life with this, Jake! Truly one of the elite Butcher fans in the world now. 🔥 This was great, I enjoyed it immensely.
Gracias. Now i have the lead in rereads, and in Jim Butcher interviews. Making myself even harder to catch

Thanks! I certainly had fun, and Jim managed that interview with a nasty fever so he really is the GOAT
Stellar interview. Subbed.
thank you!
Was really hoping to learn what character surprised him the most and how he came up with Codex Alera, but the questions you did as were pretty cool too.
Jim said he will only answer those when GRRM tells us when Winds is coming out
1:03:45 Harry Dresden’s read Sanderson???
@samuelleask1132 Jim was once asked what Harry thought of more contemporary fantasy authors, and it is confirmed that Harry really likes Sanderson, but thinks he's a little naive, and overly optimistic
@ that’s awesome! Any chance you have the source? Sounds like a super interesting interview/Q&A
@@samuelleask1132 Sorry, I don't remember, if I had to guess it was probably the reddit AMA he did leading up to Peace Talks, but that is just my guess based on my gut feeling on where specifically I saw something I would have seen years ago
Wow congrats Jake. Funny enough I am starting Storm Front this week mostly due to your recommendations.
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm new to the Dresden series. I literally finished Grave Peril last night and began Summer Knight. I'm also a newbie writer myself.
GREAT JOB!!! I want to know when Harry and Rivershoulders are going to train together :D I am going through my 7th read through the series while waiting for the next book and I still keep picking up things I didn't before. Jim is an great writer and you did a great job interviewing him!

@@jakebishop7822 Everytime. I catch a little be more almost every time I go through again.
Damn. Jim just keeps getting more and more handsome.
Jim is this your alt?
This was great.
Thanks!
💝💖💗
There needs to be a place where Harry does parkour in front of Uriel to see his reaction.
I feel like Uriel see's a lot, so probably has seen it even if he wasn't there
Jake WHAT amazing - how did you jag this lol. Nice work.
I still don't really know
Me: trying to keep my number of series I'm currently reading as low as possible.
*watches this*
Me: Damn, kinda wanna read Codex Alera and Cinder Spires ASAP
@Jim Butcher's agent
See, it worked!
Also, yes, do it
Goal accomplished
Gotta set a new goal now

I have seen most of his Q&A sessions however I can only find 8-10 year old lectures@@jakebishop7822
Jake, were you the kid in school who did the assigned reading so you'd be prepared for the class discussion?
Fantastic interview!
I was not! Because I was busy reading The Dresden Files over and over, and watching Jim Butcher interviews.
@@jakebishop7822in this case, that WAS the assigned reading!
When can we get the Quantity of Pain / Quality of Pain T-shirts Jim?
He needs merch
"When i was having dresden write that"
✍
Mental notes were taken
Is maggie reading the dresden files? Are they the memiors of her dad after she grows up that she inherits like the collection that ebenezer has?
Yes
I think of that problem thing more as Tavi's motto than Dresden's.
Tavi is better at it(he is better at most things TBH), but Harry teaches it to Molly and quotes it multiple times
two goats
Gracias
No donuts were harmed in the making of this video.
@@Demonreached You don't know that
you should interview jim butcher next time
