The Ready Player One Author’s New Story for Austin

Delorian-driving Austinite Ernest Cline always wanted to write a book about the bats that roost under bridges downtown — but after writing “Ready Player One,” other things got in the way. Recently, he published “Bridge to Bat City,” a love letter to Austin’s culture of accepting creative, different people and cultivating their wacky dreams. Cline joins host Nikki DaVaughn, a huge fan of Cline’s screenplay, to talk all things bats, technology, and Austin. 

Plus, stay tuned after Ernie’s interview for a special segment: A mile in their boots, where we feature the unsung heroes of Austin. Today, we’ll hear from Ivy Chiu, a local cinematographer.
