Episode 123 – How (Not) to Jump a Shark

We’ve all been there. We’re watching season 17 of our favorite show or book 26 of our favorite series and suddenly wonder–Wait, what? What just happened?

Whether it’s something too insane or too dumb or too out-of-character or simply too much, “this isn’t the same story it used to be” moments happen all the time in storytelling. That’s why hosts Tim and Nick are here to analyze why stories “jump the shark” and how to avoid it.

The second half is jammed packed with a Wikipedia-inspired Challenge Accepted! and a long-awaited story in Project Update.

So, listen to the 123rd episode of your premiere storytelling podcast for the creator and the consumer! Or else next time we’ll have to reveal that Tim and Nick have been dead the whole time and this podcast has been an elaborate Russian mind game.
