At the center of every story is character and conflict. Character Build sets out to explore how much of our own humanity goes into those characters at the game table, on stage, and on camera. Host Kyle David Perry puts a special focus on people who create and play their own characters as he chats with table top role players, comedians, improvisers, actors, and writers about how much of themselves go into the characters they play. The conversation will then turn on its head to explore how those characters may unlock something about our own character, identity, and humanity.
