Re-Release: Home Alone Breakdown (Part 1 & 2) (Original Air Date: 12/20/2020)

Happy Holidays StoryOsophers! First things first, thank you all for the wonderful messages of curiosity regarding where the heck Adam and Devin have been. To make a long story short, they both needed to take a brief hiatus to work on projects, and also wanted to focus on getting version 1 of Story Bluprint ready for launch.

In the spirit of the holiday season, we thought we would push the holiday movie breakdown episodes to the top of the list. 2022 will bring new episodes, the Story Bluprint app, and a new website with additional writer-resources and competitions…so stay tuned!

Happy Holidays!!

Road Trip 1 – Autumn Updates

Greetings StoryOsopher’s!

With the sudden impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, we have been adjusting to ensure we can continue producing StoryOsophy podcast episodes. The good news is, though we took a hiatus from recording, we have been hard at work getting version 1 of our Story Blūprint software ready for launch.

To keep in touch with you, we wanted to release the first episode in a new series we’re simply titling “Road Trip.” Since Adam and I are in different locations, we log many hours of conversations via mobile device, so, why not create a massive conference call with all the StoryOsopher’s out there.

Enjoy the first episode of Road Trip, and rest assured, we are working on recording new episodes for StoryOsophy as we speak.

Thank you again for your loyal support, it truly means the world to Adam and I.
