Start With This
Night Vale PresentsThe creators of Welcome to Night Vale Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink believe the only bad writing is not writing. Start With This is a podcast gone creativity playground designed to put your ideas in motion. Each episode centers around a writing topic. Then they give listeners two short assignments: something to consume and something to create. Make something—anything. Then make something else.

- Excellent And Entertaining
I am, however, confused as to why it stopped in 2021? Other podcast stuff, I assume? It’s fine, ‘cause there’s a lot of episodes…
But we never got any that are just Jeffrey monologuing for a solid hour, and I resent that.

I’ve been following Nightvale for a couple months and absolutely love the show for its randomness. I heard an ad at the end of that show for this. As an aspiring writer for the past 30 years, THIS show speaks to ALL the thoughts and fears and emotions artists go through. Thank you guys so much for your contributions to art and the world around you. Thank you for entertaining, teaching, and inspiring others.

This is such unique and actionable writing advice. It’s different, it’s advice you can actually use, and the writing and consume assignments have generated so many great ideas and also introduced me to some really awesome content. Thanks for making this show!
