Whenever the topic of a disease breaks into the news cycle I freak out a bit. I do not want Zika and as a father, I get more worried for my son. It freaks me out. What is this new strain, am I at risk. Is my FAMILY at risk.  Truth is I do not know, that is what makes fictional viruses so pervasive and powerful in storytelling. Join Michael and me in this episode as we talk about why contagions and epidemics can take your story to the next level.
