J.R. Dawson / Chuck Tingle / Durreen Shahnaz

Tor Presents: Voyage Into Genre

Looks like Team Genre is blasting off again!

This season kicks off with an examination of hope, from a magical circus between the World Wars to a conversion camp in Montana to a globe-trotting optimist. No matter how down you might feel about the world these days, this episode will give you a little more pep in your step.

ITINERARY:

• J.R. Dawson (The First Bright Thing) talks writing about performance, the root of her Sparks, and having hope even in the face of a move out of a beloved home.
• Chuck Tingle (Camp Damascus) discusses the Trinity of Maligned Genres, what he means when he says 'love is real', and rooting demons in reality.
• Durreen Shahnaz (The Defiant Optimist) explains what it means to be a 'defiant optimist' and how we can take oppressive systems and make them instead work for the good of us all.
