  066 | You've Got to Try This!

  Aug 17, 202643 minS2

  We recommend stories all the time, but what actually makes a recommendation good? We explore how our tastes, relationships, and favorite story elements shape what we recommend, why we trust certain people to know what we will enjoy, and how even our best intentions can lead to recommendations that get it so, so wrong.

  065 | Those Meddling Kids

  Aug 10, 202641 minS2

  Children see the world differently, and that perspective can make them some of the most compelling characters in a story. We explore how to write child characters who feel authentic, relatable, and capable of growth, the ways they mirror elderly characters through dependence and perspective, and how to avoid turning them into stereotypes or miniature adults.

  064 | The Show vs the Tell

  Aug 3, 202642 minS2

  "Show, don't tell" is one of the most common pieces of writing advice, but every storyteller relies on exposition at some point. We explore when exposition strengthens a story and when it becomes a crutch. Why some audiences enjoy it more than others and how to find the right balance between showing, telling, and keeping the story moving.

  063 | You're Totally my Type

  Jul 27, 202641 minS2

  We have talked about character motivations, but what are the different kinds of characters themselves? From heroes and protectors to outlaws, drifters, idealists, and every archetype in between, we explore why these familiar roles appear across storytelling, what makes them endure, and how to move beyond stereotypes to create characters who feel fresh, authentic, and memorable.

  062 | Sandbox Pt.1 - Worldbuilding

  Jul 20, 202637 minS2

  Exploring the open-ended nature of worldbuilding. Need a tavern? A planet? A forest? An artifact? How do you decide what to create in depth, what to revisit later, and what works best as a one-time set piece? How do we decide what to flesh out, what to come back to, and what to make into a short-term set piece? Which bits of worlds do come back to and see dealt with again, and which ones that we've created do fans want to see again?
