There are a lot of great podcasts out there but if I had to choose only one, I think I would go for <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/">This American Life</a> (sorry <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/">RadioLab</a>, I love you). Recently I learned that the host and producer of the show, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Glass">Ira Glass</a>, can be found on YouTube talking about storytelling. He covers how he thinks you should tell a story for a radio/TV show. I recognize how the show executes that narrative but it also doesn't take anything away from the fact it's excellent and that there are a lot of hard work and talent put into it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7KQ4vkiNUk">Ira Glass on Storytelling #1</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qmtwa1yZRM">Ira Glass on Storytelling #2</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hidvElQ0xE">Ira Glass on Storytelling #3</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9blgOboiGMQ">Ira Glass on Storytelling #4</a></p> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:48:00 +0100 urn:uuid:e807b540-0372-4aaf-a685-b02cbcd21598 Jonas Elfström http://alicebobandmallory.com/articles/2010/02/03/ira-glass-on-storytelling Blogging
