Start with This

When a podcast entails homework, you can tell it is enhancing your intelligence. Every episode of "Start with This," the follow-up to the eerie podcast "Welcome to Night Vale," offers listeners both something to consume and something to produce: typically a book or television program in the first case, and a writing assignment in the latter. The goal is to encourage you to be more creative, and the topics covered in each episode—from "Present Tense" to "Non-Lovecraftian Horror"—are satisfyingly diverse.

Start With This is a podcast turned creative playground created by Welcome to Night Vale co-creator Jeffrey Cranor to help you put your ideas into action. Every episode has a theme that ranges from world creation to opening words to failure. Then they assign the listeners two quick tasks: one to consume and one to produce. The greatest method to start writing is to start writing, thus Jeffrey wants you to start producing, one assignment at a time. Uncertain about where to start? Take This First.
