“What is a story in it’s purest form? The power of the anecdote. Raising questions at the beginning, constantly raising questions and answering them.” Reminds me of what someone told me about great animation, the process of tension and release. I wonder if the same thing goes for games? On a side note, i’ve listened to Ira Glass for years on This American Life, but I had never seen him before, I must say his voice totally matches his look and demeanor.
The big message for podcasters is in part 3 where Ira talks about early creative works that are disappointing often lead to people giving up. To demonstrate he plays a clip from his eighth year of broadcasting and proceeds with some brutal critique, but the point being, he went on to create great work. Maybe the same goes for blogs? I know many people start and give up?
Anyway, great stuff for everyone in these clips.
