Writing Battle (Tempest Owl) with MM Schreier and Charlie Rogers
Fri Jan 30 2026
It's always a fun time when Charlie and Maggie stop by the pod, but some sleep deprivation led to this one being the silliest, giggliest, most unhinged yet!
Amidst all the fun, we gave our reactions and opinions to the new Writing Battle format: 9 new classes, 9 genres, and--of course--lots of button pressing!
Buckle up, this episode is a wild ride. (Sadly, we lost Charlie for the last 10 minutes)
**SPONSOR INFO**
This episode's sponsor: Ryan Fleming!
Check out his winning story--The Tragedy of Montague Bellot--on Writer's Playground "Storytime" podcast. (Thanks for the shout, Ryan)
Also, more of his work will soon be available in one of our friends at Not Quite Write's "daredevil" episodes. So keep an eye out!
~~Also wanted to drop a link on her for anyone looking to preorder Jon's book: Carseat Conversations: The Secret Life of a Dad
