Featuring panelists: @GabrielUrbinaTM @itsellenwinter @macwrites and Tristan Cowen

.@macwrites first two shows started as commissioned works, always intended for audio, featuring a real pieces of GE tech

Tristan’s first show was based on a screenplay he wrote.

“When you start writing, at a certain point you stop making and start following. The thing has its own will....what is it about the media I’m creating that makes it a good fit for the media I’m putting it in?” -@GabrielUrbinaTM

“What can I accomplish in this media that cannot get made literally anywhere else?” -@itsellenwinter

Early drafts of #36questions included a narrator, and the writers found that it threw off the “intimacy” of the podcast both with the listener and within the characters’ relationship so it was eventually removed.

. @itsellenwinter on using a framing device (think audio logs/acknowledging the recording) consider “how does the device solve the problem?”

On including a narrator, @macwrites wanted to include his as his stories have a “noir-ish feel” but in order to make it feel different he made sure the narration was always in the present tense and cuts in and out of scenes with other characters.
