The story you know... with a twist.
The Wayfarer's Guide to Worldbuilding
Hosted by Allison Alexander and the rest of the staff at Mythos & Ink publishing, this podcast is a tool to help writers build creative worlds. Each episode explores one facet of worldbuilding—such as drafting the perfect city map, making a monster, or building an ancient religion—and gives practical advice on writing these elements.
