Next Episode: Should Movies And TV Be ‘Politically Correct?’ – Episode 083

How technology and science are portrayed in movies and TV is always changing. Science fiction writers have dealt with this for years, but what about non-science fiction stories. How are these things treated in stories...

Brent and Erik also check in about their writing.
