Welcome to episode 4 of Overthunk! Today’s episode we recorded back on March 15th before the ship really hit the fan. It’s been a trying couple weeks for the planet and we hope this lightens the mood for a little bit. We were lucky to have my brother, Charlie Baker, as our guest today. He’s one of the best people I know and his sarcasm and wit make him so much fun to talk to. The episode starts a little tense as we get through some technical difficulties, however, I think it lightens up pretty quickly.
Today you’ll hear a lot of F bombs and hear sophisticated vocab words, like stasis, from a very gifted writer. Speaking of writing you’ll also get a mini lesson on story structure ~ Conflict = a Compelling Story. You’ll find out why this is Aaron’s “time of the year” and generally just have a great time as we discuss our bain of the day.

Cheers!
Aaron and Chris
