Paul Shapera is a musician whose New Albion and Tales of Lost Hollow albums span atompunk, dieselpunk, cyberpunk, steampunk, and more!
So no matter what you fancy, this episode probably has something for you!
We get into fascinating territory, including Paul's relatively uncommon four-act storytelling structure rather than the more traditional three-act or five-act storyline, and how this relates to the idea of "Escher's Loops" (yes, as in, the illustrator).
Paul also describes the sound of each punk era, including instruments and thematic inspirations.
And since the concept of "rock opera" can be elusive, he also shares his preferred term for his kind of storytelling: pulp opera.
Yup, Paul's pretty much the coolest.
