You’re gonna make some crap
I’m a big fan of This American Life, and found this via an Ira tweet. (At least I hope it really is his twitter. He might be just another fake Stephen Colbert.) It’s about storytelling. There are four parts to it, but this morning I found myself drawn to part III. Been suffering a bit lately with the “Staring at the Page and Seeing Crap Looking Back at Me Blues.” Got a bit of a lift from Ira’s words.
The others parts also have some nice, soothing pick-me-ups in ‘em. Although he’s talking about broadcasting, there’s something in here for everyone.
Storytelling #1
The building blocks
Storytelling #2
What happens when you realize things aren’t working.
“It’s time kill. And it’s time to enjoy the killing. [snip] Not enough gets said about the abandoning of crap.”
Storytelling #4
Talk like a human being. Don’t inject too much of yourself into the story.
