Spencer Church

We start with an extra “cold” cold open as Caleb talks about his recent illness and working in frigid temperatures.

After that, we read an AMA from the Editor-In-Chief of Story Magazine and learn about their submission reading practices. We discuss how different publications handle submissions, what we think is fair, and what is absolute garbage. Overall, this is a really informative episode.
