Podcast Show Flow

  • What is your message? Theme or sub-text (this could be the whole show really)
    • Examples: Dune: Struggle, Wonderland/Oz : Wonder and escapism
  • Physical characteristics of your world can(should?) be metaphors for the conflicts of the characters within it
  • Re-examine. Why do you want the world to be a certain way? Does is align with the story/message you are trying to tell?
  • Change what needs to. This does not mean strapping a bunch of hard-worked worldbuilding, it could simply be a matter of changing a reason for things to be the way they are. Re-framing is a powerful tool in worldbuilding and in life. Broken wine glass story
