The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online. In this episode, I continue talking about creating and writing characters, focusing on characters who evolved from a narrative need, specifically Moon Town TV news commentators Triple Bee and Savannah Bonn. Also, I chat briefly with my son Thomas about his thoughts on character as he wraps up pre-production on his own forthcoming webcomic Fetch the Bee. Music – Can’t Fool Me and The Trees Ask, by Steve Ogden; theme to Cosmic Osmo by Tim Larkin.

Braincast RSS feed is moving
Hello, dear Braincast listeners. For technical reasons too boring to go into here, I have had to make a new RSS feed, subscription feed, XML, whatever you want to call it, for the Steve Ogden Braincast. The old subscription address – steveogden.com/podcast/podcast.xml – will no longer be updated, and soon will be removed altogether.
If you’d like to keep up with the latest Steve Ogden blather, you’d better subscribe via the new address: www.steveogden.com/braincast.xml
Or, if you want to do it through iTUNES, click HERE. I apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to see you on the next Braincast, where I will talk to my son about character theory as he prepares to launch his own webcomic Fetch the Bee!
