Description
The official companion podcast for The Worldbuilding Workshop: Teaching Critical Thinking and Empathy Through World Modeling, Simulation, and Play, hosted by co-authors Trent Hergenrader and Stephen Slota.
The duo conducts a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the book; outlines their thinking about each chapter's contents; describes ideas that were left on the cutting room floor; and explores how the worldbuilding framework can fit all kinds of teaching and learning environments.
