    25. Horror w/ Miles Tritle

    I’m back to bring you a lost interview, just in time for Halloween. I talk to Mike Tritle, the author of Mister Secrets, The Collins House, and host of The Warning Woods podcast, about the good…the bad…and the ugly of the horror genre. I wanted to discuss Horror in general, and Miles was a great person to help me address such a topic. So I hope you'll enjoy. As always, your feedback is appreciated.

    24. Video Games w/ Jay Rooney

    When it comes to storytelling, one of the most prominent and continuously rising formats of the last 30+ years has been video games, and even now there seems to be no end to how much more they will grow. They run the gambit of any and all genres, from historical fiction to fantasy and sci-fi, to sports, and even slice of life. Video games are inspired by all manner of cultures and lifestyles, and have evolved into an incredibly expansive medium… Guest Links: Jay Rooney https://gameandword.substack.com/ https://linktr.ee/gameandword https://twitter.com/GameAndWord

    23. Dreams

    Dreams are a huge part of the human experience, in both the literal definition- experienced via our unconsciousness during rest, as much as our aspirational, ambitious desires. But dreams can and do mean so much more, having such a powerful impact on our lives; in various cultures, these influences take on many forms and move in a number of ways… So dream a little dream with me, and let us drift off across the sand-filled sea of slumber.

    (Holiday Bonus) Weave Me A Story: Episode 3; Genko Shin and the Boughs of Holly

    Today I will be bringing you an adventure of sibling rivalry, revenge, hatred, fear, and hope. It is a one-off winter tale inspired by my yet-to-be-published novel, Genko Shin. One no one else has yet to read or hear, so consider it my special holiday gift to you. I hope you like it. Without further ado, in celebration of the season and winter Solstice, and of course, in honor of Anansi, the African god of storytelling, I’ve come...to Weave You a Story. *I've tagged this story explicit due to violence.*

    22. Creepy Christmas w/ Jeff Belanger

    The holidays are upon us, and more importantly, so are the winter months. A stressful time of year...and traditionally one of danger, hunger...even death. It’s a time when the struggle for survival was its most severe. So the very nature of the holiday season is no stranger to horror or fear. If you missed my Christmas Monsters episode last year, please do check it out. You’ll quickly become aware of the numerous creatures used to threaten people, especially children, into behaving. So yes, Christmas is very much...creepy. But don’t take my word for it. Listen to someone far more knowledgeable than myself... I’ve brought you a VERY special guest, one whose work I’m sure many of you have no doubt seen. So snuggle in front of your fireplace, or, wrap yourself in a blanket for safety and warmth, then listen in while I bring you Creepy Christmas w/ Jeff...Belanger. *This episode is marked explicit due to brief mentions of graphic violence, and some minor adult language.* Guest Links: https://jeffbelanger.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ExploringLegends/ https://www.instagram.com/exploringlegends/ https://twitter.com/THEJeffBelanger

    20. True Crime Narratives w/ Kate Wallinga

    I’m pretty excited about this week’s episode, which was originally scheduled for Halloween weekend, but sometimes life has its own plans, and things come up. Still, I’m glad to finally bring you our discussion on true crime narratives, and why we are so infatuated with them, especially when it comes to serial killers. To do that, I’ve brought you a very special guest- Kate Wallinga of ‘Ignorance Was Bliss’; “A podcast about who we are.” Kate is an amazing host and storyteller, with an impressive professional history to match.  References: https://daily.jstor.org/bloody-history-of-true-crime-genre/ https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/559256/why-we-love-true-crime Guest Links: https://iwbpodcast.com/ https://www.facebook.com/kate.wallinga https://www.tiktok.com/@iwbpodcast? https://www.instagram.com/iwbpodcast/ https://twitter.com/iwbpodcast
