Welcome to Episode 288 of the Spun Today Podcast with Tony Ortiz, where creativity takes the spotlight and storytelling is always at the heart of the conversation. In this episode, Tony dives deep into the writing brilliance of the Daredevil TV series, exploring seasons one through four and unearthing valuable insights every writer and creative can appreciate. From the artful mirroring of hero and villain to the series’ thoughtful examination of moral ambiguity, Tony unpacks the narrative craft that elevates Daredevil beyond the typical superhero genre.

 

But that’s not all—Tony also shares his experience attending Jeff Ross’s one-man Broadway show, offering a peek behind the curtain into comedy, resilience, and the importance of seizing the moment. And in his ongoing segment “Goats Doing Goat Shit,” he pays tribute to trailblazers Matt Stone and Trey Parker for their game-changing moves with South Park.

 

Tune in for practical writing takeaways, reflections on character, layered backstories, and the power of authentic detail—all through an inspiring, creative lens. Whether you’re a writer, a lover of great stories, or just someone chasing the next spark of inspiration, this episode is packed with gems to fuel your craft.
