Narrative Structure in Storytelling
The podcast episode discusses the narrative structure in storytelling as highlighted by Ira Glass. Rather than framing stories as arguments, Glass emphasizes sequencing events to create a compelling narrative. By focusing on a series of events rather than arguments, storytellers can craft more engaging and magnetic content. An example from The Daily illustrates this with the use of a broken narrative format that provides background information in between sequential events.
