Join host and author Zachary Steele for The Inciting Event, a podcast without all the plotting and scripting and interviewing. Just creative-minded people casually chatting about books, writing, stage and screen, music, their origin stories, and whatever it is that inspires them, with no real plan to speak of. Random. Fun. A little chaotic. And as entertaining as we can make it.
