What if but Good? is a podcast about screenwriting. Our three intrepid heroes/hosts have challenged themselves to write feature length screenplays over the course of sixteen weeks. And a challenge it is! Join Evan, Silas, and Peter each week as they dive headlong into the intensely difficult, hugely rewarding creative process. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sad, sometimes our hosts want to throw out everything and quit writing forever. But that's why it's called "What if but Good?" -- because it's all about exploring bad ideas with good friends and squeezing that lump o' coal until it becomes a diamond.
