Episode 136 - Planning Your Concept and Hook

<p>In this episode, the two Matts begin the tradition of having a week break between segments for our sanity's sake, lament the passing of time as our years on this Earth grow longer, discuss who prescribes medication versus who gives it out, and talk about planning your concept and hook in the first of our set about pre-planning before your draft. How do you know whether you have a good idea? Is your concept better for a single installment or a huge series? How can you describe your hook? How will Matt Donald survive turning thirty freaking years old as he just did? We discuss it all, having previously planned the concept of this show years ago, and talk about Phantom of the Opera, Iron Harvest, The Secret Country, and Boy Meets World for some reason.</p> <p>Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?
