Episode Description

Welcome to another episode of Spun Today, the only podcast anchored in writing but unlimited in scope. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and in today's episode, I'll be breaking down Season 3 of the acclaimed series Shrinking through the unique lens of a writer. We'll dig deep into the character arcs and narrative choices, extracting motivational and creativity-fueling takeaways to inspire your own storytelling journey. From psychological concepts like the "field" and the "shadow self," to lessons about character scars, growth, and the necessity of letting your creations remain human, there's a wealth of creative insight to unpack. Plus, stick around for our favorite segment, "Goats Doing Goat Shit," where we shine a light on those making a positive difference in their communities. Whether you're a fellow wordsmith, a fan of Shrinking, or just on the hunt for inspiration, this episode is guaranteed to ignite your creative spark and encourage you to keep pursuing your dreams, one word at a time.
