In this episode, I chat with Douglas Vigliotti about getting into reading, its hidden benefits and the Books For Men Podcast. Please note that this is the first part of a two-part interview with Doug. In the second part, I discuss his book, Aristotle for Novelists. I felt that this chat about his podcast and reading was long enough to warrant its own episode. Also, I wanted to avoid clickbaiting because this interview is nineteen minutes long, and the second part is around forty-three minutes long. You get it, I erred on the side of caution and created two episodes.

Its been a while—fourteen months and a few days to be exact. In this hopefully short, update-style episode, I'll share the decision behind my podcast hiatus, discuss a few non-writing and publishing updates, then share my plans for the upcoming podcast episodes. Also, I'm podcasting during a heat-wave in London, so you might hear Hector my Dyson fan humming away in the background. But hopefully, you're thinking "I don't hear a fan."

As I wrote the outline and script for the show on value shifts, I realised that there is a smaller unit of story that I need to discuss that's integral to understanding value shifts or how a scene turns. So, I considered adding it to that episode but soon discovered that the final version of the episode would be too long. That's why I created this, hopefully, short bonus show where I discuss what is a story beat. And how you can use them to create better scenes.
