🔤 Titles in storytelling [Storytelling podcast] #18

The Audio Epics Podcast

In this episode of the Storytelling Podcast, we go over different kinds of titles for books, movies, games, etcetera and how one might go about picking one. Do you put in a "The" or not? Short titles or long titles? Mysterious, cryptic ones like 'The Shadow of the Wind' or clear-cut in-your-face ones like 'Snakes on a Plane'? We also have a section on bad titles, which is where things get really fun. Get immersed in the world of irritating sticks, origami girls and 'the dude in the nude'. And learn about the least inspired movie title ever!

ABOUT THE STORYTELLING PODCAST:

This storytelling podcast episode is brought to you by Domien De Groot and Eline Hoskens from Audio Epics. We release these episodes on a regular basis because we are both passionate about stories and storytelling. Another reason why we create these discussion episodes based on a specific storytelling subject is to financially support the writing and production process of our fantasy dramatized audiobooks with original score, several voice-actors and sound-effects. Enjoy our podcast and don’t forget to check out our free fantasy dramatized audiobooks on this channel!
