Bad Storytellers :: Episode 03 :: The Planet Without Christmas

Posted by LaForge on December 9, 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 discusses villainy, Batman, overseas racial expectations, and Christmas in space. We had some audio trouble this episode, despite upgrading our microphone solution, so we’d like to apologize for any intermittent clicking. We did the best we could to reduce it.

In any case, enjoy!
