Episode 110: That Sinking Feeling (With David K. Barnes)

The mastermind behind Wooden Overcoats, David K. Barnes, joins the bad ideas squad once again - first to bring a bad idea of his own to the table and then to discuss our creative processes!

First, David brings us a story about a house whose inexplicable popularity goes hand-in-hand with its rather strange flaw. The team must decide what kind of con story they're going to build around this very suspect construct. After that, we get to have a chat with David about his writing process, his thoughts on effective storytelling, and his insights on how to make comedy work in audio. 

All of that, plus: a bizarre twist, a family's ability to love or connect with each other, several films playing at once in the same screen, reams of painstaking detail, and the shifting of tectonic plates!
