The Truth.

This is The Truth. I'm Jonathan Mitchell.

And lately we've been releasing conversations in between episodes, talking with the writers about where these stories come from and the ideas inside them.

And today, I'm talking with writer Hunter Nelson, who wrote The Completist.

And this will be a spoiler-filled conversation.

It's really meant to be listened to you after

you've heard the story. So if you haven't heard it, you'll want to go listen to it first.

And we'll talk with Hunter after the break. This interview will be available in the main feed for

30 days, and after that, it'll move to our premium feed where we keep all of our interviews

and bonus material. We've been releasing these

interviews on the main feed since January, and going forward, they'll stay on the main feed for 30

days, but after that, they'll all be available on our premium feed. So if you want access to all

of the interviews, go to the truthpodcast.supportingcast.fm.fm. Supporting the show helps us make more stories.

Hunter Nelson has written many stories for the truth,

like Body Genius, Dan Slaying, Operation Skill Shot,

and most recently Forward Darkspeed.

And he's also a songwriter and musician. And so when he

pitched me a story about two guys obsessed with a musician, I thought maybe he would want to write the

songs, but instead, he suggested his friend Dustin Lohman write the songs and play the musician. And so

later in this episode, we're going to hear Hunter talk with Dustin about how the songs were made.
