What this episode covers
Nancy Fulda joins us for a discussion of engaging characters. We begin by explaining how engaging characters don't need to be sympathetic, but certainly can be, and then we head into why we find particular characters engaging. We also talk about how this plays into the villain problem, where the villain is more interesting than the hero is.
