Essex 'splains
Welcome to the Essex 'splains podcast where Erin the Musical Muse and Essex the Artist Analyst review and analyze stories to help you overcome your false beliefs and live your happily ever after.
We believe stories are not just for entertainment, but for teaching us, through characterization, how to make better choices. And since economics is the study of choice, who better than a writer and economic analyst to evaluate how choice architecture in story can be applied to the real world.
If you love stories, want to make better life choices, or just want to see what you're looking at...welcome friend. You've come to the write place.
