Sweet Story, Bro v 2.0

Welcome to Sweet Story, Bro v 2.0: brand new, fully pivoted, and ready to tackle geeky stories through unique geek critique!


Sweet Story, Bro was a podcast that allowed me to engage with stories on a deeper level—analysing, dissecting, and understanding story points, major beats, and the writer’s choices to determine whether the story was Officially Too Sweet or Just Not Sweet Enough.


At its peak, the podcast was #36 in the United Kingdom charts, featured on iTunes’ ‘New and Noteworthy’ section, and a member of the #PodernFamily community.



With 2.0, however, the old rating system no longer exists.


Instead, I will be wrestling with these nerdy narratives no matter the medium (books, comic books/graphic novels, movies, video games and, for the first time, TV shows), providing a critique of the story with a specific theme in mind, looking at the creative decisions made in relation to this thematic exploration. The same amount of research that helped to popularise the podcast will be present, featuring interviews and quotes from authors and writers, helping to contextualise the chosen theme or creative reasoning.


You can read a more in-depth account behind this change in tact here: Pivot. It features on my personal blog, Write Steve Write.
