b'Brandon, Dan, and Mary interview Howard about how he assembled "Deus ex Nauseum," the bonus story that appears at the end of Schlock Mercenary: Emperor Pius Dei.
\\n
\\nHoward begins with the story\'s genesis, which was sort of a science-fiction Sherlock Holmes story, but which wasn\'t working very well. He explains why it wasn\'t working well, and the point at which he decided to change it completely.
\\n
\\nThen the questions begin. We have a fascinating discussion about deus ex machina as a literary device, and how this story plays to that type, and plays against that type.\\n\\nOur Sponsors:\\n* Check out Factor 75 and use our code wx50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/ \\n\\nSupport this podcast at \\u2014 https://redcircle.com/writing-excuses2130/exclusive-content\\n\\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands'
