The Bournemouth Journal‘s own Editor-in-Chief, and MA Creative Writing and Publishing award leader at Bournemouth University, Dr Bradford Gyori is the guest expert in this episode, which covers all things immersive and interactive storytelling.

From Choose-Your-Own-Adventure stories all the way to Black Mirror‘s “Bandersnatch“, where do we start when it comes to crafting immersive and interactive stories? Can we take it beyond the page, and indeed, even beyond the realms of fiction?

Brad draws on his own expertise, much of which also went into his upcoming book, Creating the Interactive Digital Narrative: An All-At-Once Guide to Collaborative Planning, Production and Beyond (releasing February 2026).
