Every creative work is the product of someone's hard work and imagination. That's why there's copyright laws. Storytellers of all kinds should be paid for their work and own their ideas.

However, at some point, all stories enter the public domain. What is public domain? What's the role of public domain in creativity? How does public domain change storytelling? How long should a copyright last? Hosts Timothy Deal and Nick Hayden tackle these and related questions in this episode's Story School.

Then, after our monthly Once Upon a Scene, Tim and Nick dig into public domain for a special A Bit of Story involving rockets and old ladies.

So, listen in to this, the 142nd episode of Derailed Trains of Thought, your premiere podcast on storytelling for the creator and the consumer. Share it! Discuss it! Enjoy it!
