On Riting

In this episode, MJ, Chad, and Sean dive in to the primordial ooze from which a good 50%+ of the writing advice on the internet springs: the Iowa Writers Workshop and their benefactor, the CIA. Other topics include the FBI's tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again, the FBI having really cool windbreakers, and FBI agent Fox Mulder's whole deal. Oh, they also talk about writing occasionally.
