Workshop Episode 9 (Guest Host: Mur Lafferty)

May 1, 2012 Posted by Dave Robison

The Roundtable Podcast, Workshop Episode 9, with Mur Lafferty and Dan LathamMur Lafferty – author, podcaster, editor, and purveyor of awesomeness – grabs a seat at the Roundtable to help workshop a story by Dan Latham that’s a unique twist on the superhero tale.  As always, the story sparks a fabulous discussion that delves into the “darker” superpowers, alternatives to classic villain tropes, and the transformation of spirit that having superpowers can have. (and as long as you’re here, you’re not going to want to miss Mur’s Showcase Episode either!)
