”The most unfettered imagination belongs to young people, and they don’t walk through life; they fly” – Rod Serling

In 1963, “The Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling was interviewed by Australian radio presenter Binny Lum. The interview goes over a great many topics, including the now infamous show, which Lum admits to never having seen (and Serling takes it in very stylish stride).

Serling also talks about Japanese “Kamikaze” cab drivers, how science fiction predicts the future, and his own writing routine, which involved writing for at least three to four hours every day of the week.

The video is just over five minutes and it’s charmingly and delightfully illustrated, so I definitely recommend giving this a watch. Additionally, there’s a wonderful write up on the Blank on Blank page, which is where this series was created.
