080 || Consumption vs Engagement
Happy Two Year Anniversary! Stoke the Wild is thankful and grateful to all our listeners who spent time with us these last two years.

We hope you enjoy it.

075 || Looking at the Larger Narrative
Ever feel like a season of your favorite show hits big up top or finishes real strong, but the rest is a little lackluster? Writing for TV (or anything) is difficult, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. But that doesn't mean that each season or each episode is a standout hit. This week Nick and Joy discuss the joys of TV filler episodes, what they notice from watching their favorite shows, and how Nick approaches his own storytelling methods.

056 || Do the Work
This week's episode, Nick & Joy talk about art and injustice. Art has often been a way for truth to be spoken. We talk about the books, films, tv shows, and podcasts we've been taking in to be anti-racist. There is always work to be done. We can continue to learn and be educated by those far more equipped to teach us. But we cannot stay silent, and we cannot sit idly by as people suffer. We are not experts. Honestly, we are not even close to amateurs on the subject, but if we can encourage even one person to take the time to self-examine, and do the work, then so be it.
