Or, "Why Tell Tales of Angels and Monsters?"

Welcome to Tell The Damn Story, where hosts Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan dig into the secrets of writing stories that outlast their times.

In this episode, they explore how classic Twilight Zone episodes like “One for the Angels” and “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” prove that great fiction isn’t just about reflecting current events—it’s about tapping into universal themes and characters that resonate for years to come.

Alex and Chris share insights from teaching, writing, and analyzing how authors can avoid the pitfalls of making their stories too time-bound.

If you want advice on crafting narratives that feel relevant today and powerful tomorrow, you’re in the right place.

Brew a cup, settle in, and get ready to tell the damn story.
