What will the father do when his daughter is kidnapped? Whatever it takes. What will the detective do to clear his name from a wrongful accusation of murder? Whatever it takes. What will the group of superheroes do when half the world is wiped out by a magic glove? Whatever it takes!<\/p>\n
Strong-willed protagonists get things done. But are proactive main characters always the best choice? Why do we love them and are there times to enjoy\/create other types of protagonists? Hosts Nick and Tim muse about these thing in this episode’s Story School.<\/p>\n
Then, in the second half, we play “Guess That Protagonist!” in a new Challenge Accepted!<\/p>\n
So, what will you do to find time to listen to episode 107 of your premiere podcast on storytelling? Whatever it takes, obviously.<\/p>\n
