This is the inaugural episode of Raff's Brain, a show about the creative process hosted by Arlington, VA-based writer and performer, Rob Raffety.

Raff's Brain presents periodic updates on a forthcoming one-man show that Rob will perform as part of the the 2020 Capital Fringe Festival. The podcast is primarily a commitment device that, in theory, will force Rob to invest greater time in writing, workshopping, and pre-production for his upcoming performance. For listeners, the show offers a peek behind the curtain of Rob's creative process and the chance to join him on an unpredictable journey that will culminate in the live performance of his one-man show in July 2020. 

In this episode, Rob explains his motivations for making the podcast and provides listeners with a plan of attack for the next six months. He also discusses the current state of the project, which is very much still at the early planning/brainstorming stage of pre-production.
