Storytelling: Naomi Beaty Also Has A Very Specific Set Of Skills
Stories need structure too, ya know! And, who better to talk structure with than a teacher, writer and podcaster? On a normal day, we’d have to find 3 people to meet all that criteria. But no day is normal when Naomi Beaty is around. Enjoy the wisdom!
Naomi shares a name with a couple of heavy-hitters in the entertainment industry, including Naomi, Naomi and Naomi (listen to the full episode for specifics). She also shares her knowledge and wisdom with us as we do a deep-dive into the mechanics of storytelling. As a long-time collaborator with Save The Cat, a podcaster and a teacher, she’s certainly a contender for this type conversation. As a kind person with a passion for supporting others in their endeavors, she’s a shoe-in. To illustrate the reliability of story structure, we compare two nearly identical films - Taken and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. When we get to the Fishbowl... Guest Host with Swinky! Whooo!

Storytelling: John Bucher Firmly Believes That We Can Improve Our Narrative
Debate amongst yourselves all you like, John Bucher is confident we can all craft better narratives for ourselves, both on a micro and a macro scale. What thoughts have spawned from this passion? Listen and find out, friend.
Even if they gave PhDs out for passion instead of knowledge, John Bucher would probably still have one. Enthusiasm, curiosity and insight are all on full display in the first episode in our Storytelling miniseries. We start this series heady asking the biggest story question of all time - why do we need stories anyway? Surely it can’t be a coincidence that every society, no matter how remote from the rest of the world has stories any more than it can be coincidence that so many of these stories have overlapping themes, plots and structures. But, we don’t stop there with the ephemeral puzzles.
