Dive into the heart of storytelling with our podcast on literary conflict. Whether it’s an internal struggle, such as a lone survivor battling the elements, a hero wrestling with their own conscience, or it’s an external war being waged as a societal revolution, conflict is the heartbeat of literature.

Join cohosts AJ (a scholar with a mind for all things creative writing) and Kyle (AJ’s sidekick with a twisted view on the world), as we deconstruct the mechanics of personal and communal moral dilemmas in this episode of conflict. We dissect the types of internal and external struggle in detail with literary examples.

Who hasn’t faced an internal dilemma, Person vs Self, or feared for safety out in the violent elements, Person vs Nature? We analyze how authors use conflict to mirror our own human struggles, offering you a deeper toolkit for your own writing or your next book club discussion.

On this podcast, you’ll discover:

• Deep Dives: Explaining the differences between each type of conflict presented in writing classics like Frankenstein and MacBeth, to more modern takes dealing with technology and emerging AI.
• Uses in Your Writing: Whether you’re an aspiring novelist, a literary student, or a subject enthusiast, you’ll see what makes this topic vital to character and plot development.
• What AJ and Kyle Think: A personal spin on the subject matter and how they believe it correlates to life, real or fiction.
