Narrative Signals
Welcome to Narrative Signals — a channel exploring why science fiction, action, and genre stories resonate, inspire, and sometimes challenge how we see the world.
Broadcasting from the Cold Deck — a quiet post deep in the narrative void — we dive into character arcs, themes, storytelling choices, and the signals hiding just beneath the surface.
If you’re drawn to thoughtful storytelling, rich world-building, and stories that ask big questions, you’re in the right place.
