Christopher G. Moore on Bangkok, Creativity & Storytelling [Season 3, Episode 43]

Greg interviews author and noted man-about-town Christopher
G. Moore, who returns to the show after appearing in Episode 44
of Season 1. In a wide ranging and philosophical discussion, Greg
and Christopher dive into all the bells, whistles, and otherwise
that come up in the complicated, messy, and very rewarding
journey to putting down a story on paper and making it relatable,
exciting, and new.


They discuss the creative process, the need for writers to
create empathy in their characters, the effect of social media on
attention span, 'theory of mind,' the endless intricacies of
Bangkok, 'free will,' and how curated content on the Internet
constantly feeds us things we are already interested in.


Christopher also gives us a preview of his latest
nonfiction work Rooms, which explores
the way that living indoors has transformed human psychology and
culture over the last six thousand years. 'Narrow' would not be a
good word to describe Christopher's endlessly curious
mind!
