Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff

Episode 640: Smooth-Fingered Dystopia


Listen Later

At the behest of beloved Patreon backer Lauberfen we gather the suspects in the Gaming Hut to ask how to make the revelation as compelling as the mystery.

Estimable backer Benjamin Rawls beckons us into the Narrative Hut to wonder why some genres assume certain plot structures yet others do not.

If you live in the Maryland area you may have noticed some empty shelves at your local bookshops. Ken’s Bookshelf steps up to solve that mystery.
