15.19: As You Know, This Episode Is About Exposition
Your Hosts: Brandon, Victoria, Dan, and Howard
“As you know, Bob…” is the trope-tastic line we use to refer to expository dialog which has no function beyond exposition.
We get lots of listener questions about how to use dialog for eposition without making it feel like we’re using dialog for exposition. And as Bob already knows, this episode is about answering those questions.
Credits: This episode was recorded by Dan Thompson, and mastered by Alex Jackson.
Homework: David Mogo Godhunter, by Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Thing of the week: Take a favorite piece of media, and make a list of the worldbuilding elements which are absolutely necessary to make the story work. Now re-watch the media, and make notes about when each of these elements is introduced.
