14.22: Characters out of Their Depth

Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary Robinette, Dan, and Howard
Sherlock Holmes has his Watson for a reason. Readers need a character to whom some things must be explained. In this episode we talk about how we create these gateway characters without delivering “maid and butler” dialog, or talking down to the reader.
