Every headline holds a story waiting to happen. A strange local news clip, a viral moment, a single line that makes you go ‘what if’. Plot Lab is a new podcast where real world sparks become original fiction. Each episode, hosts Kristi Leonard and Beth Uznis Johnson invite a guest author to brainstorm a story, starting with nothing but a headline and their imagination.

Part game show, part writers’ room, Plot Lab is about following curiosity wherever it leads and exploring the creative process of story generation. It’s fast, fun, imaginative brainstorming that reminds us why we fell in love with storytelling in the first place.
