You have a story. Now you have a choice. Will you tell it visually, aurally, or textually? Is it long form or short? Does it lean into the constraints of the form or against it? And why does it matter?
This episode, Nick and Timothy examine the relationship between message and medium, between style and story. Then, because it just fits, we follow up with a What If? about, you guessed it, taking a story and drastically changing the medium. (Sorry, Jane Austen.)
So, basically, this is exactly the sort of episode you’ve come to expect from your premiere hour-long (give or take) audio discussion on storytelling, Derailed Trains of Thought.
