Today we're discussing a writing technique called show vs tell and using "Heartstopper" to illustrate our points.  We also talk a LOT about Ikea, but don't worry, it all comes together.  What do you think?

In this week's episode, we continue our discussion representation within Heartstopper and how much of a difference it makes in writing.  You'll hear us talk about things like how the story treats LGBTQIA+ individuals, my own coming out story (sort of), and more!  Check it out, and please share the podcast and throw us a rating on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts!

In today's episode, we focus on representation and we talk about how much of an impact representation has on the people reading or viewing inclusive artistic works.  We are tying this in to Heartstopper, and while we don't dig in deep on this episode, we are laying the groundwork for upcoming episodes, so stay with us and enjoy the ride!
