Hello and welcome to the Story Grid podcast. This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better writer.

I'm your host Tim Graal and I am a struggling writer trying to figure out how to tell a story that works.

And what's the point of view?

So we went over those in the last episode in depth.

And again, it was fun. And I've also

gotten some feedback now that people have listened to the episode of like really glad to hear

us going back and talking about these. Because I feel like we're able to talk about them at a little
