How to Write Hermits, Recluses, and Vagabonds - 50 First TED Talks with James D'Amato from the One Shot Podcast and Campaign

World Forge

If you're looking for an episode about the music of The Decemberists, the Canadian television show The Littlest Hobo, or my love of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, honestly we spend a lot of time on all that this time around so you'll probably like this one. If you're NOT into all that, well we also talking about how to write about the mysterious stranger who lives at the edge of town. The Old Man from Scene 24, the witches from Macbeth, and the weird dude who gives you your first sword in the Legend of Zelda, they're all important characters because they help launch our heroes into their respective adventures. We need these aides, assistants, and quest givers, because they propel our stories forward, and in this episode we discuss how to write an interesting hobo of your own. We're joined in this endeavor by the hilarious and insightful James D'Amato, creator of the One Shot Network, and host of such podcasts as the One Shot Podcast, Campaign, and Skyjacks! If you're interested in checking out more of his work well, you're in luck because his shows can be found wherever your favorite pods are casted.
