Hello and welcome. My name is John August.

Oh, my name is Craig Mason.

And this is episode 576 of ScriptNodes.

It's a podcast about screenwriting and things that are interesting to screenwriters.

We'll also tackle a bunch of listener questions on everything from outlining to

beligning small villages.

Melign them.

Oh, but Craig, you're going to really enjoy our bonus segment for the previous members.

I like baking, cooking, mixing, whipping, folding.

I love to make a dessert.

So we're recording this pre Thanksgiving, but my thing is our planet making three different pies.

So pies are definitely in the entries here about that.

Of course, overall, in the general categories of desserts, we need to figure out which are the ultimate desserts,

which are not the only ones.
