Really helpful advice

I'm really enjoying these episodes, thanks for making them. After years of trying it on my own, I've been learning a lot more about world building. These podcast episodes have a wealth of insight, tips of things to consider that I considered quite useful.

The episodes have a good pace and the author calmly covers many different angles related to world building. Audible randomly recommended this to me and I'm liking it. The author is a musician so you'll hear some of his music on the podcast intro/exits, it grew on me.

Great podcast for World Builders

Sorry, I'm sure the author is very knowledgeable, but his presentation requires some work, lol. He is so monotone... which is a contradiction to the electric guitar soundtrack of the background. his voice is similar to watching paint dry lol.

sounds like teacher in Ferris Bueller day off
