Episode 116 - Rooting For the Heroes

In this episode, the two Matts sell a pesticide that wards off cliches, nearly cause a device detecting cliches to blow, claim superiority over one another as co-hosts in different ways, and talk about how to get your readers to root for the heroes in the first of our set about motivating readers. What are some classic ways to let your readers know your hero's a good guy? What are ways that aren't so cliched? Is there any room to break new ground in this regard? Will Matt Donald ever forgive himself for forgetting to write a joke he's come up with so far for every episode? We discuss it all, with such dashing smiles and charming personalities it's impossible not to root for us, and talk about Star Wars, Aladdin, Captain America, and Huckleberry Finn.
