We read all sorts of things everyday–tweets, emails, menus, Cracked articles, etc. But not all reading is equal. This episode Nick and Tim discuss “deep reading,” the act of engaging in a text (or, similarly, in a visual story) in a real and immersive way. They ponder the why’s and how’s of such in-depth interaction. And, despite this episode’s title, they do not once mention LOST.<\/p>\n
Then, in the second half, they “read” the experimental interactive fiction “Aisle” and its far less serious cousin, “Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle.” So, unplug from distraction, put on your headphones, and zone in to your premier podcast on storytelling, Derailed Trains of Thought.<\/p>\n
