Episode 2 - We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker (or How to Write Wide Characters)
The Binge Reading Bookclub
02/27/25 • 59 min
This month we read We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker, a crime/thriller set in a small Californian town in the late 1990s but not all is as it seems. Nicholas helps us understand how Christ Whitaker builds up rich characters by delivering information in small bites from secondary parties, the show-not-tell approach I suppose. We also chat about inner monologues, books that feel like sequels but aren't, and we continue writing our novel in comedic fashion using the tips picked up in the episode
The next episode of the BRBC will come out on the 27th march where we will be reading Planetfall by Emma Newman which follows a genius astronaut named Ren as she slowly discovers humanity's place in the universe.

03/27/25 • 59 min
Today we chat about Planetfall by Emma Newman, Sci-fi set 20 years after humanity sets foot on a new planet in search of God's City. Nicholas helps us understand how Newman shifts the readers perspective to distrust the main character Renata Ghali's (not Renata Bliss) perspective on the story playing out. We also chat about our favourite cross-over universe headcannon, invented ailments, and continue our tonally jarring novel.

Episode 1 - What is the point of this podcast?

Let's get to know each other! In this episode we talk ghost writing a YA novel, our favourite creative outputs, and we write the first sentence of our novel. According to Nick starting a novel with 'Once upon a time...' is a pastiche that he hates but I think it could go somewhere.
The first proper episode of the BRBC will come out on the 27th February. Follow the link below for more details:
