Coming to you pre-recorded from the boomy basement of Brandon Sanderson, here's an episode about time travel. Oddly, there's an audio artifact here where we're hearing faint echoes of those speaking, and some of them precede the stuff they're echoing. "Oddly?" More like "Serendipitously." It's a shame we didn't know that would happen. If we really WERE time travelers we'd have seen that coming.

\nWe begin by categorizing three major types of time travel by the movies they appear in: "Twelve Monkeys," "Back to the Future," and "A Sound of Thunder" (the short story, though. Not the movie.) We then talk about the tools each of these provide to storytellers. We also talk about the challenges involved in writing a time travel story, and how to overcome these challenges by writing about the things that will always be interesting, rather than focusing on the time travel itself. We also talk a little about time travel clich\xe9s, perhaps by way of warning you.\n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/exclusive-content\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands\n\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
