Welcome to the very FIRST episode of Character Test, my show about good characters and the lessons we can learn from them to make our stories, the stories we're telling with our lives, better.

In this episode, my editor Alice Sudlow and I talk about the 4 things that actually make a good character.

Then, Alice interviews me about my story, and we discuss whether I am a good character (spoiler: I pass the test, barely).

Finally, we give practical advice on things you can do to improve the story you're telling with your own life, based on the interview.

Oh, and there's a free prize.
