The mic sits in front of me, cold, unplugged, as an obligatory software update tries to keep me pacified with a graphic that clearly doesn’t actually indicate how much progress has been made.

... Maybe this information isn’t so important.

On this episode of Prose and Cons, Matan leads a discussion with Paddy and Phoenix, dissecting the age-old editor's note 'Show don’t tell'.

What are the prose of telling?

What are the cons of showing?

They’ll get into all this and more.

The Bear: what a show. What a stressful, anxiety-inducing show. On today's menu, Ally, Alex and Paddy deconstruct the writing of The Bear, how it uses its frantic energy to such strong effect, and how you (yes YOU!) can sprinkle some of that special spice into your own writing.

(Do note - there are slight spoilers for seasons 1, 2 and 3. Nothing major, but if you really don't want to know anything that happens, maybe leave this one until you're all caught up on the show.)

You’re sitting there, maybe standing, and you’re thinking about listening to this podcast. You have a choice: press play, and you’ll be swept away, or you can close your podcast app and know a normal life.

The choice is yours.

On this episode of Prose & Cons, Phoenix, Alex, and Paddy bask in some Saturday morning energy and discuss their thoughts around and relationships with text-based games and literature that has adopted a gamified approach.

This isn’t a technique-heavy episode, but feel free to kick back, relax, and enjoy a fun discussion.

Some things talked about in the podcast you might want to check out:

• Doki Doki Literature Club (Free on Steam at the time of upload).
• Road Warden
