Murderbot and the Stories That Heal Us
About this episode
The episode discusses the comfort found in various stories, particularly focusing on the first season of Murderbot and the healing power of narratives.
It's scary out there — so thank goodness we're taking comfort in some wondrous books, TV shows, comics and movies. What makes a story comforting? And why is a dark horror story sometimes better comfort than a sweet gentle comedy? Plus we talk about the first season of Murderbot, which is about using stories to feel better and also made us feel better in real life. Show notes: www.ouropinionsarecorrect/shownotes
