Summary
This week SASF listeners sent in their own pitches for an episode of "Make Me Famous"
In this new SASF segment, Nate reacts for the first time to original ideas containing:
- The Last Airbender meets Stranger Things plus reincarnation, a slave girl, and a menacing priest
- A headstrong girl who awakens an ancient evil
- Narnia fanfiction
- a determined goat trying to succeed at roarball;
- and much much MORE, including the elements of a good pitch. If you still have an idea, send it! We'll likely do another episode of "Make Me Famous" in the future.
