Studying Abroad, Adventure Stories, and the Hero's Journey

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Scattered Seeds,” in which Connie wants nothing more than to write stories like Whit, but laments that nothing interesting has happened in her life from which she can draw inspiration, unlike Whit, who is a font of endlessly interesting life experiences. Whit sets out to prove otherwise by having Connie recount the tale of her directorial debut. In the end, Connie learns that anything can be a good story, from the right point of view. Also, Eugene sings, literary advice, and Lord of the Rings fan fiction.
