Good Writing Meets Great Fantasy
Placed to Speak New Podcast Episode Out Now!
In the latest episode of the Placed to Speak Podcast participants from our Place Based Abilities Program dive into the worlds that have shaped their imaginations. Thoughtful, funny and full of imagination, this episode celebrates storytelling in all its forms. The group explores why fantasy resonates so deeply, and whether books or visual media bring stories to life best. They unpack fan art vs fan fiction, debate graphic novels vs traditional literature, and share honest takes on book-to-movie adaptations. Along the way, you’ll hear personal reflections on reading journeys, creativity, and what it’s like to build entire worlds in your head.
If you’ve ever argued that the book was better than the movie, drawn your favourite character, or disappeared into a fictional world for hours at a time, this episode is for you!
