Episode 146 - Writing Under-Researched Stories

<p>In this episode, the two Matts record a skit that's literally nonsense rather than figuratively like all the other times, discuss the differences between Japanese driving tests versus American ones, end the episode with a terrible joke that neither of us wrote this time, and talk about writing under-researched stories in the next of our set about terrible story ideas. How can you make sure you do adequate enough research? Are there some instances where research doesn't matter as much? What are the kinds of writers that would fall victim to not doing enough research? How badly did Donald stumble when writing the ad for this week? We discuss it all, without any research on any topic whatsoever because we're professionals, and talk about Doctor Who, The Emperor's New Groove, and Banjo-Kazooie for some reason.</p> <p>Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?
