Great podcast for World Builders

I'm really enjoying these episodes, thanks for making them. After years of trying it on my own, I've been learning a lot more about world building. These podcast episodes have a wealth of insight, tips of things to consider that I considered quite useful.

The episodes have a good pace and the author calmly covers many different angles related to world building. Audible randomly recommended this to me and I'm liking it. The author is a musician so you'll hear some of his music on the podcast intro/exits, it grew on me.

sounds like teacher in Ferris Bueller day off

Sorry, I'm sure the author is very knowledgeable, but his presentation requires some work, lol. He is so monotone... which is a contradiction to the electric guitar soundtrack of the background. his voice is similar to watching paint dry lol.
