Episode notes
Griffin McElroy is the host of the podcasts My Brother, Mr Brother and Me, Wonderful and the actual-play podcast The Adventure Zone. He’s also a former writer for and founder of the video game news site Polygon. Now, he is also the author of a new Choose Your Own Adventure book called The Stowaway.
In this book, you are the stowaway on a spaceship, and the ship’s crew has gone missing. Every few pages or so, you’re faced with a decision, or a fork in the road. To navigate your choices, you turn to designated pages, and the story unfolds!
Griffin McElroy joins Bullseye to talk about how his gaming history informed his writing process for The Stowaway, navigating the enthusiastic support he’s received for The Adventure Zone, and his family’s commitment to each other in their work.
