For today’s podcast, I used one of our discussions as a prompt to investigate further. I’ve quoted a few comments from readers including - Jules Terry Freedman Nathan Slake John Halbrooks Josephine Vraca and others. Thanks for the contributions!

Questions I pose:

• What stories does your text respond to or adapt, even implicitly? Is this something you reference in the text? Should you or would doing so enhance the intertextual reference points?

• In what ways might creating a fiction that adapts allow you to go deeper with an idea? In what ways might it restrict you?

• When retelling or responding to a story through a different medium, what are the effects in the change due to the medium? In what ways does your text as visual or not become a different type of cultural artifact?
