We love a good cliché from time to time, which is why we recorded this podcast while wearing sunglasses and walking away from a giant explosion. We made a big list of random clichés and tropes and talk about how they can be funny or charming, serve as efficient storytelling tools and sometimes also just annoy the crap out of us. We hope you'll enjoy this new episode of our STORYTELLING PODCAST! --...

In this episode of the Storytelling Podcast, we go over different kinds of titles for books, movies, games, etcetera and how one might go about picking one. Do you put in a "The" or not? Short titles or long titles? Mysterious, cryptic ones like 'The Shadow of the Wind' or clear-cut in-your-face ones like 'Snakes on a Plane'? We also have a section on bad titles, which is where things get really f...

In this special episode, we answer some of our listener questions from Patreon and YouTube. Find out what Hugh Jackman has to do with Ludlov, the difference between Flemish and Dutch, why we won't do a Mass Effect audio drama and why Eline thinks the Hemsworth brothers should replace Tom Cruise. 

What's in a name? It turns out, quite a bit, actually. Naming characters is a big part of storytelling, especially in fantasy. We answer all your questions in this episode, such as: does Frodo in Russian mean "bipolar Rowan Atkinson"? Who is Bilbo Stevens? And what kind of wisdom is on our tea labels?

We won't spoil the announcement in the description of course... You'll have to listen to find out.

In a world... where justice is outlawed... The just... must become... Outlaws! We once again sit down to discuss the things that truly matter in life, like the possibility of Frodo being played by Adam Sandler and Eline having synchronized menses with Suzanne Collins. The movie Avatar comes up a lot because it was the last one we watched before recording this. Our discord link: https://discord.gg/...

In this hard-hitting investigative documentary, we ask each other some tough questions and do our best to provide the wisest possible answers.

Instead of discussing a specific topic, we decided to have some fun this episode by asking each other questions about movies, games, books and the like.

As for...

Sometimes a movie is just not good enough and you have to make it again. Sometimes a movie is so good, you want to make it again too.

Last week we discussed points of view of narration in novels. This week, we talk about point of view as it is used in video games and movies, where the camera takes on much the same role as the narrator in a book. We also talk about audio drama. Oh, and we almost get a divorce during this episode. By the way, if you don't play video games, you may want to skip to about 14 minutes into the podcast....
