The Story Structure Episode (AKA Man In A Hole)

On this week's episode of The Freenoter, Tom and Tamsen go deeper into story structure, the purpose of stories, and DO YOU EVEN NEED STORIES, BRO? They also spotlight the great work of Nick Morgan and his research on the types of stories. And finally, they introduce a cocktail so terrible, they couldn't even bring themselves to make it.
