064 | The Show vs the Tell

from Bards and Balladeers Podcast · host Bards and Balladeers

"Show, don't tell" is one of the most common pieces of writing advice, but every storyteller relies on exposition at some point. We explore when exposition strengthens a story and when it becomes a crutch. Why some audiences enjoy it more than others and how to find the right balance between showing, telling, and keeping the story moving.Bards and Balladeers Podcast - bardsandballadeerspodcast.comDiscord - https://discord.gg/QVQWczk4FhC.E.
