Fantastic fiction craft podcast
I have recommended this podcast to dozens of people. There’s so much crunchy, chewy, juicy, crafty goodness in every episode. I’m not sure Tim and Sean see themselves or the podcast this way, but I love that they are archetypes (Tim = the Hero, Sean = the Mentor) in a Hero’s Journey story. Every episode involves the Hero undergoing some test (having his chapters torn apart) or acquiring some knowledge, tool, or assistance that he will need to help him reach his goal (a story that works). Tim’s willingness to learn while doing makes him a great stand-in for the listener. We share his ignorance, his confusion, his feelings of overwhelm, and his epiphanies. I don’t think you’ll find another podcast that casts the Grinch as the Hero in a Hero’s Journey story. But this one will!

Although I'm not a novel writer I enjoy listening to these episodes and find they are very helpful in storytelling and even recently made use in some copywriting. Thanks Shawn and Tim! Keep up the awesome work.Read full review »
