Stranger Things: Choose Your Own Adventure


Listen Later

We wrap up our Stranger Things discussion with a look at some of the literary inspirations for the show, such as the work of Stephen King and the Choose Your Own Adventure children's book series, as well as the interweaving of Dungeons and Dragons-style narrative storytelling with the ability for players to choose their own path. 

We also take the quiz to find out which characters we are, and you can take it here.
