Bad Storytellers :: Episode 02 :: Second-Hand Memories

Posted by LaForge on December 2, 2015

Bad Storytellers is a podcast about writing and things that are written. Join four friends on the road to becoming professional writers as they unleash new stories on-air, criticize each others’ work, discuss pop culture influences, and conceive on-the-spot trailers for imaginary films.

In this episode, the gang talks about used books, conceptualizing a story, outlining, and worldbuilding. Then we wrap-up by creating a sweet little tale about an unlikely hero who just wants to know the truth.

This episode’s writing submissions:

• Josh – “Malcolm Hatt” Worldbuilding Notes
• Liam – “No More Bad Weed Kisses”
• Max – “Job Insecurity” Second Act
