The Story Chat: Recent Episodes
The Story Chat
If you love reading stories, writing stories, or learning about them then this is the podcast for you! Join Kay, a creative writing student with a love of craft, Gareth, an English literature graduate with a love of sarcastic comments, and Percival a creative writing and English literature student with a love of subjecting herself to more academia, as we discuss a wide range of media in the chaotically academic way of three exhausted and eccentric uni students.
An episode of false starts, as Gareth talks about Thomas O’Malley’s The Rook, a fantasy novel set in London. Our first episode focused on one book meant that of course, we talked a lot about everything else. From window-washing to laying down the law on Urban Fantasy versus Paranormal Romance, and is business-casual the only thing stopping this book from becoming the X-Men of London?
we discuss the common crafts and tropes that writers use. Kay is leading the episode this time, and the topic is characters! Even a plot-driven story needs characters in order to exist. Join us as we discuss archetypes, character roles, and ask the big questions; what makes a well-rounded character, how to gets on when you like reading romances but hate lazily-written love interests.

If you've seen a rom-com then you've probably seen a meet cute but what exactly are they, where did they come from, and how does this 80 year old trope fit into modern media? Join us us we attempt to answer these questions and more this week on the Story chat.
Note: in discussing Buffy the Vampire slayer Percival refers to Willow by the name Lily by mistake.
