Welcome to the true second episode of the UTKT Podcast, which is a podcast by writers, for writers... and everyone else!

Today, Nick, Alan, and Emma talk about the kinds of fantasy worlds they would/wouldn't want to live in, engaging in a topic of the ethical implications of Pokemon and Thomas the Tank Engine, and seeing what story ideas you can make with a simple Buzzfeed Quiz.

The prompt this time takes us down a dark path of Hallmark Parodies, Baguettes, Pumpkin lattes, and Horror Corn.

The first-ever installment into the UTKT Podcast, which is a podcast by writers, for writers... and everyone else!

We are just 4 college friends who enjoy writing and talking about whatever comes to mind. While the pilot episode is a little less focused, we hope to continue developing it to include writing prompts, analyzing writing in culture over an assortment of mediums, and talking through writing tips and themes. So join Nick, Kassi, Alan, and Emma as they dive into the insanity that is the current world.
