Third Person: A Storytelling Podcast

Listen Later

Stephen is mysteriously absent this week, so Bryan and Abigail take this advantage to have a surprisingly coherent discussion! The topic is twofold: the use of nonfiction to enrich storytelling and the use of storytelling to enrich nonfiction. The first step is to define just what exactly these two concepts mean, which leads to a comparative study of the works of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Also discussed: how Resident Evil teaches us about powerlessness as a technique in horror and why Friends isn't a complete waste of time!
