Description
This is podcast dedicated to the great stories, the ones that really mattered.
You know, comic books, literature, movies, video games, and everything in between.
Your host, Nathan, is a writer/media professional who earned a degree in literature a billion years ago, and loves examining great stories through that lens.
I'll also have guests sometimes too!
This is also the home of the Amazing Gamers podcast, my original show that was focused on video games (but constantly went off topic, hence the change)...
Also, if you like the show, please consider dropping a couple of bucks to buy me podcast beverage through the Support the Show tab on the Choice Media Podcast page.
