Story Grid Roundtable Podcast Team
New! Now! The Story Grid Roundtable, a podcast dedicated to helping you become a better editor.
Each week, I and four of my fellow Certified Story Grid Editors analyze a movie from one of the twelve main content genres, answering the Editor’s Six Core Questions…including (ta-da!) the elusive Obligatory Scenes and Conventions!
The Roundtable podcast is a fun and easy way to study a great story each week. If you follow the Story Grid, you know that creator Shawn Coyne always urges writers and editors to immerse themselves in stories. Analyze them. Be inspired by them. Learn story structure from them. Mine them for ideas.
The Roundtable team is here to help you do that.
First up on the podcast: Riddley Scott’s Horror masterpiece, Alien. It fits the horror genre in every single particular.
The Performance favorite Billy Elliot and the comedy Thriller Hot Fuzz are also on tap for you to download and enjoy now.
