I just discovered the podcast and that I can listen to it here on audible. Since I haven’t heard many of these before, I am kind of binge listening right now, lol. I’ve been digging into things such as character arc and the Lie the character believes, and it helps so much to be able to listen to these podcasts while I’m thinking about it all. Thank you KM Weiland! PS - every episode I’ve heard was very professionally done!

Might be addictive..
