Authors Robyn Fleming, Karen Healey, and Carla M. Lee discuss worldbuilding in second world fantasy. Summary of the episode and all show notes can be found at ThisMetaphoricalBar.com.

Who We Are

Robyn Fleming: I write and wrangle children in Tucson Arizona, and I have spent objectively way too much time with flatworms.

Carla M. Lee: An author, artist, and attorney living in the Midwest USA and when I drove past a graveyard this morning, my dog started barking at nothing at all. I think she’s warning me about the black dog.

Karen Healey: An author and teacher living in Otautahi New Zealand, and I outed myself to a staff meeting last week.

Note from Carla: Robyn had some recording issues. There are a few minor places where she’ll drop a word or two and during her definition of second world fantasy (about 18 minutes into the episode), a chunk of her definition, including the first part of an example, were lost. We apologize and are working on making sure this doesn’t happen in future recordings. (However, we’ve recorded several episodes prior to editing this, so there may be issues in the next few podcasts as well. Where possible, I’ll note anything big that is missing.)
