Speak Up Storytelling

On episode #95 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew and Elysha Dicks talk storytelling! In our follow up segment, we discuss recent and future virtual shows, brand new Patreon content, and more. We also share listener insight on virtual meetings and performances.  In our Homework for Life segment, I talk about turning a crazy and amusing story into something more meaningful and profound by bringing two ideas together.  Next we listen to a story by Ron and Marcus Apter. Amongst the many things we discuss include: The difficulty telling stories with another person Telling a universally appealing story with content that is less-than-universal Moving through time and physical distance in a story The building of stakes Keeping the audience guessing all the way until the end Next we answer a question about the considerations required when telling stories to children.    Lastly, we each offer a recommendation.  RECOMMEDATIONS Elysha: HBO's Bad Education Matt: Peter Aguero and Sara Peters TED
