The Chicago Episode

Episode 26 of A Place To Stray. Sometimes, naming a podcast episode is a creative outlet in and of itself. You measure puns against each other, trying out different wordplays and cadences. Brevity is an art form unto itself, and a great title is an enormous victory. And sometimes, you went to Chicago. And titles are hard. Follow the Instagram @placetostraypod

Storygraphorisms

Episode 25 of A Place to Stray. About 18 months ago, I made an episode about data presentation (thrilling, I know). Everyone yelled at me to stop using Goodreads, because I complained about the lack of graphs and data it provides, and to switch to Storygraph instead. I did that and have been a Storygrapher since. Now it's high time I yelled back. Follow the Instagram @placetostraypod

Half a Life Away

Episode 24 of A Place to Stray. How much of you at 13 years old self is still a part of your current self? That was a real person, with thoughts and opinions. And, if you're 26 like me, you've doubled that kid's experience of life. Maybe you've had the same thoughts I had, when I sat on that idea for a while. How much do you remember? And what would that kid think of you, if you were to meet? Follow the Instagram @placetostraypod

The Dog Dies In The End

Episode 23 of A Place To Stray. Disclaimer: No animals, real or fictional, were harmed in the making of this episode. But like. Would you still listen if a fictional dog didn't make it through? And if you knew a dog was in it, would you want to know in advance whether they survive or not? Sure, there's a 90 minute episode in that premise. Whatever you say, Stephen.
