On Episode 3 of The Mindscape Museum, we meet Hayley Watkins, speculative world-builder behind The Character Consultancy. Join us as we explore the psychology of world building, speculative fiction, and fantasy. What happens when the intangible becomes tangible?

This episode discusses the intangible ties between what we experience in our everyday lives and how that can manifest within the creative process, and how it affects how we perceive ourselves in that process.

The Mindscape Museum is a podcast hosted by R.J. Nieto that explores the nature of science, art, and pop culture in visual and narrative storytelling.
