It’s 2018, and we’re back with Episode 84 of Derailed Trains of Thought, your premiere podcast on storytelling!<\/p>\n
The facts: Story School, simple vs. complex plots; Our Take on Tales, our 2017 reads<\/p>\n
In other words: Your hosts, Timothy Deal and Nicholas Hayden, tackle the plot continuum, meaning those plots ranging from shoot-’em-up action-movie simple to multi-volume worldbuilding metaphysical complex, examining the strengths and weakness of each, while all-the-while bantering and throwing out their trademark examples. Then, after a rousing Soundtrack, they present an overview of the various literary pleasures consumed during the past year in the hope of encouraging listeners to pick up a novel they may not have read before. Finish the delightful experience with another rousing soundtrack.<\/p>\n
The long and short of it? Listen in and enjoy!<\/p>\n
