Elevating The Genre - Smart stuff in the genre world
This is a podcast examining what makes smart geeky stuff actually smart. Where two working genre creators discuss any element in any “genre” (re: geek) piece of IP/story that raises that piece (or a moment or element in the piece) above the normal expectations of that story's genre. It's all geek love, baby.
