105: Narratology and Narrative Theory with Steven Cousler

Hyperfixations
About

Let's hope our professors hear this one...

We're back late after having to factory reset my laptop for our most inscrutable episode yet, as Steven achieves his goal of coming on this show and secretly giving the audience homework. In this episode we discuss creating vocabulary for why things are wrong, what a "narrative" actually is, sexy lamps, how easy it was to be famous back in the day, and why the TV show 24 is the best piece of media ever.
