This week, we put a bow on StoryWonk Sunday with our live finale, in which we relate the story of how it all began, and take listener questions.

This week, we discuss BIG NEWS, then talk about why Xander is problematic, our personal headcanons, and the brilliance of Tom Hanks!

This week, we discuss podcasts that take unusual approaches to narrative and storytelling, then deconstruct the role of the protagonist, thanks to M. Night Shyamalan’s 2000 movie Unbreakable.

This week, we don our capes and domino masks as we discuss Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, the CW’s The Flash and Arrow, and the upcoming slate of superhero movies.

This week, we look forward to National Novel Writing Month 2014, and talk with NaNoWriMo founder, Chris Baty!

We return from an unexpected hiatus with a discussion about writers interacting with fans and critics, a 30 Rock promise, and — at last — The Princess Bride!

This week, we celebrate our new studio, then get down to work with writer improv, and three short tales of superheroes, piano players and a troubled barista.

It’s been a week of intense discussion here in Château StoryWonk, and we’re ready to deep-dive into narrative theory as we unpick semantic suppositions and try to figure out the hero.

This week, we conclude our twenty-four hour podcast marathon with sincerity in storytelling and some thoughts on recent controversies, before finding ourselves on the brink of an analysis of the antihero.

This week, we’re running late — but we still found time to talk about listener feedback, the value of critical thought, and how stories help connect us to others!

This week, we learn the truth about Hello Kitty, what happened to Tony Soprano, and authorial intent. We also talk Doctor Who, including our own hypothetical reboot!

This week on the show, we explain the origins of the wonk, talk about – and tease – our next Sessions series, and discuss the second season of Orange Is The New Black in full.
