Everyone plays a character, right? Welcome to Character Study the podcast that explores how writers, artists performers shape their own stories. Each episode, author Freya Bromley talks to writers, comedians, musicians and creators about the delicate art of finding inspiration in the everyday. From memoir to standup via autofiction and Instagram, what happens when we blur the lines between fact and fiction? These conversations explore how seeing yourself as a ‘character’ in your own story can unearth unexpected courage, compassion and curiosity. And maybe even a bit more self-reflection. But how do you write about topics like friendship, family, or love without revealing too much about the people closest to you? What does authentic storytelling really mean in an era of curated online personas? And does mining your life for material change the way you experience it? This podcast isn’t just for writers, it’s for anyone trying to make sense of their own story. Follow Character Study and explore how the art of storytelling shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
