Episode #004: The Stories We Tell + Te Haunui Tuna Interview


Listen Later

In today's Dispatches segment, John explores the power and responsibility behind storytelling. How conscious are we about the narratives we read? The narratives we create around others? Or the narrative that is our life. He delves into how crucial storytelling elements -- like tone, word choice, and point of view -- are just as applicable to understanding our own stories. Then he considers how these stories can affect the views we hold about ourselves and society at large.
