Welcome, wanderers of the written word, to Fictional Problems, the podcast where two mostly-human writers embark on a quest to conquer the many-headed beast known as speculative fiction.

Whether you’re tuning in from a dystopian megacity, a haunted library, or a coffee shop on the moons of Jupiter, this is the place where we talk all things writing. The monsters. The magic systems. The space-time paradoxes we accidentally write ourselves into at 2 a.m.

Your hosts are Gary J. Martin and A.R. McNevin, two relatively unknown scribblers armed with nothing but questionable outlines, half-finished novels, and a reckless amount of worldbuilding notes.

This podcast is about the how of writing, our personal processes, the strange rituals we swear by, and the philosophical rabbit holes we dive down just to figure out how a telepathic fungus economy might work.

Each episode, we’ll share the nuts and bolts of our storytelling, from character arcs to plot twists to how many metaphors are too many.

So grab your quill, your keyboard, or your neural input node, and join us. This is Fictional Problems.

Let the overthinking begin...
