Ira Glass on Storytelling

Writing by Brad on Saturday, 21 of April , 2007 at 9:55 am

Ira Glass and the team from This American Life are some of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard. Their weekly radio show tells the stories of everyday people (and some not so everyday people) around a central theme. If you’ve never heard the show you absoluely must take the time to check it out.

If you’re interested in storytelling, the process of storytelling, or how to create a quality production, take the 20 minutes and watch the videos below.

It’s nice to hear an authority on the craft say basically: “You’re going to be really bad at this but that’s ok, keep going.”
