A PODCAST FOR SCI-FI AND FANTASY WRITERS
Welcome to the tavern!
At The Worldbuilder's Tavern podcast, we like to kick back with a drink and chat about the storytelling in sci-fi and fantasy worlds. Your hosts are three nerds—a writer, an editor, and an academic—who love breaking down tropes, examining plot, and questioning the status quo. We get together every other week to analyze the worldbuilding in books, shows, and movies.
​
If you write, read, or watch speculative fiction, you're in the right place. Grab a drink (non-alcoholic always available) and pull up a chair!
