    An exposé of the plastic industry

    In award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner’s new book, ‘Plastic Inc.,’ she traces how plastic went from a wartime miracle to the survival strategy of the fossil fuel industry. What Gardiner found after years of reporting is that while millions of us were recycling and using less fuel, the companies that make plastic are producing more to make up for it. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about recycling, microplastics in the human body, and the environmental impact.    Rock critic Ken Tucker reviews the new album from Megan Moroney, ‘Cloud 9.’ See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.

    #245. 5 Ways to Show World Building in Your Novel Without Info-Dumping

    Master these 5 worldbuilding techniques to immerse readers in your fictional world without infodumping or overwhelming them. If you've ever sat down to write a scene and ended up with three paragraphs of explanation before anything actually happens, you're not alone. Most writers don't info dump because they're bad at worldbuilding—they do it because they love the world they've built and want readers to experience every detail of it. But here's the thing: too much explanation too soon is usually what breaks immersion, not what protects it. In this episode, I'm sharing 5 practical techniques for weaving worldbuilding into your story so readers experience your world naturally—without ever feeling like they're being taught about it. You'll learn how to tell which worldbuilding details have earned their place on the page, how to weave them into the scene instead of stopping the story to explain, how to adjust your approach based on whether your POV character is a native or a visitor to your world, and how to let the scene itself pull worldbuilding into the moment so it never feels forced. You'll hear me talk about things like: [02:30] How to tell whether a worldbuilding detail belongs on the page—or back in your notes. [04:27] How to weave worldbuilding into action, sensory detail, and interiority so it never stops the story cold. [08:08] Why the answer to "how much should I reveal?" is almost always less than you think, and later than you think. [10:04] The difference between a character who's new to your world and one who's lived there their whole life—and how each one changes what you can explain naturally. [12:40] How to use in-scene triggers so every worldbuilding detail feels pulled into the story instead of pushed in by the author. The world in your head is alive. It has texture, history, and weight. These five techniques will help you bring that onto the page so readers feel it too—without you having to stop the story to explain it. These techniques are hardest to apply when your story's foundation isn't solid yet. If that's the piece you've been missing, my Notes to Novel course is where to start.
