Ira Glass, of This American Life discusses “The Art of Storytelling” in a set of 4 videos on YouTube. The first one – “On the Basics” – appears below. I came across this on Garr Reynolds’ blog. In his blog piece, Garr distills the lessons of the videos.
The other videos can be found here:
- Part 2: “On Finding Great Stories“
