Alice, Bob, and Mallory: Ira Glass on Storytellingmetasyntacticstag:alicebobandmallory.com,2005:TypoTypo2011-10-14T00:55:39+02:00Jonas Elfströmurn:uuid:e807b540-0372-4aaf-a685-b02cbcd215982010-02-03T23:48:00+01:002011-10-14T00:55:39+02:00Ira Glass on Storytelling<p>When a new episode of <em>This American Life</em> is made available, that is the first thing I listen to. 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>
