From our choices on This American Life, I chose “Getting Away With It”. What I liked the most about this particular episode was how they began. They really let the listener come blindly into the episode. If you haven’t read any synopsis or brief description, you wouldn’t really know what the episode was about when the … Continue reading I Like My Introductions Funneled

I listened to Ira Glass on Storytelling parts 1, 2 and 3. One major building block he emphasizes is anecdote. He describes this as a sequence of events and how stories should be told.
