14 Jun 08 Ira Glass on storytelling
Ira Glass, host of NPR’s This American Life, explaining his take on storytelling. I think a lot of this can be appropriated to how we need to start telling stories online, be it by video, audio or just in words.
Now, this isn’t a cure-all template that can and will always work, but it’s a good way of thinking when it comes to good storytelling. If anything, if you are a big fan of TAL but don’t really know why, this sort of explains it.

Looks great, I’ll watch it when I get home.
Also, I subscribed to the New Yorker recently. I love it. I initially got it for the fiction and the comics (of course). But I really love their…uh…non-fiction, but still interesting stories. There’s a word for it I’m sure you know but yeah, that’s all I have to say about that.
