In Search of the Story is a show about the experiences that we find in gaming and other related media. Chris and Olivia dive into narrative focused interactive entertainment and discuss the impact that it can have on our lives. The show may be explicit from time to time, though it is a PG-13 at most. But as the conversations continue, there is no telling where this yarn will take us. Each week we will aim to discuss a specific topic and let our natural conversation drive us. This will be a raw format podcast with editing only done for background noise - so you will hear everything that comes out of our streams of consciousness. Enjoy!

    In Search of the Storey: Choose Your Own Adventure

    In Search of the Storey: Choose Your Own Adventure

    This week on In Search of the Story, Chris is replaced by Chris (Hepburn), and Olivia continues to sit in the captain chair as the two discuss games with multiple endings and the idea of choice in entertainment. This is a new adventure unto itself. Gravelle found that he was a bit overloaded and probably in your ears too much, so will only be a guest host on occasion for In Search of the Story. 
    New dynamics! New stories! New chemistry! 
    But WAIT! There's More!

    In Search of the Story: Do Characters or Games Evolve?

    In Search of the Story: Do Characters or Games Evolve?

    In Search of the Story sees the return of Olivia and Chris to discuss the evolution and growth of characters in gaming. This is different than the evolution of a game. We aren't looking at how a game changes, but how the characters change themselves. With that said, grab a cold drink, sit on your rocking chair and listen as we talk Kratos and Lara.
