They wanted people to learn to write better by hearing them discuss writing topics instead of the model of a bunch of supposed experts telling people how to write. Jeffrey said that their collaboration was so fun they thought it might be a great idea for a podcast.
About a year ago they started giving each other assignments again to write scenes with obstacles in a similar fashion to their first meetings and then they got together and talked about what they learned.
The origins of their team up in this new venture and all the ones before this started in the Neo-Futurists, an experimental theater troupe, where they initially wrote a play together by giving each other writing assignments with specific parameters like using a theatrical device or certain phrasings as a way to inspire creativity. Also, the flow of the show and the topics they discuss were ideas that came to them naturally and it was a lot easier than putting together a new scripted show. Jeffrey let me know that they didn't really have free time but they live nearby each other and getting together and talking about writing was so fun for them they made time. I talked to them on the phone and wanted to know how they found the time to make this new project.
