The Danger of Not Writing What You Know (Cutting Room Floor #154) - a podcast by Ira Heinichen, Joshua McClenney

Can you tell a story about a lesson that you, personally as the storyteller, haven't learned yet? Or, put another way: what are the dangers of NOT writing what you know? Can the process of storytelling teach you that lesson, or provide you with that insight? And what happens if it doesn't? How does that affect your audience? We discuss!

Also, Josh recommends the book Letter to a Stranger edited by Colleen Kinder, and Ira (+ Liz) recommends Andy Weir's novel Project Hail Mary. Yes! We actually recommend two BOOKS this week instead of films or TV shows. Look how cultured we are :)
