Saul saw a post on Reddit about a GM who had problems Roleplaying Dialogue with the PC when they were talking for the NPCs. The GM also wanted the players to do more RP in their sessions. Saul realized this was a big problem for a GM that wants more RP from his players but was really intimidated by NPC dialogue. There were quite a few help hints in the responses but other Reddit users. Saul thought some of them were really ingenious and talked to Jolene about this as a toplic for the podcast.
Jolene agreed with Saul that this GM was in quite a Pickle. Whether you call it nerves, bu tterflies, or "stage fright" those things have to be overcome for a GM to be able to run a RPG session. There are things you can do to overcome these obsticles. As you try and learn them, different techniques will help you run NPCs better.
