Speculative Sandbox: a tropes and storytelling podcast

Happy New Year! Learn what's planned for next year and hear a roundup of our 2022 episodes.

Hint: This trope goes up and down.

We’re taking a break from our normal programming to enjoy the holidays. In the meantime, Speculative Sandbox presents the Twelve Days of Tropes, a limited series of micro-episodes that briefly touch on some well-known - and not so-well-known - tropes. Each episode is a secret until you open it, just like a present. And who knows, maybe you’ll see one of these tropes fully analyzed with a guest on a future episode. And If you’re writing this holiday season, consider exploring or inverting what you hear.
