  • Violence is Sometimes the Answer

    Show Notes:

    Guests Filmmaker John Lyde and Fight Choreographer Justin Lee

    Quentin Tarantino has said, “Real life violence is real life violence. Movies are movies…It's not the same thing at all.” His films are pretty violent, so he gets asked about violence a lot.  He has also said, “Violence is so good.  It affects the audience in a big way.” And lastly “Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.” 

    Sponsored by BBMTY studios
    Theme music by Gordon Vetas.
    “In the Telling” is hosted and produced by Liz Christensen.

  • Between the Lines "Bounce" with Krista Davies

    This episode is part of a series of book discussions on the art and craft of storytelling called "Between the Lines."

    Show Notes: contains affiliate links

    Special Guest:  Krista Davies is a Producer at Centerpoint Legacy Theatre and the General Manager at The MT Pit, The World's premiere Broadway backing track library.

    The basic premise of “Bounce” is summed up by this quote from psychologist and researcher Anders Ericsson, “We deny that differences [in talent] are immutable; that is, due to innate talent.  Instead we argue that the differences between expert performers and normal adults reflect a life-long persistence of deliberate effort to improve performance.” 

    Episode Chapters:
    7:47 Subjective Art
    12:21 Purposeful Practice
    "Expert practice is different.  It entails considerable, specific, and sustained efforts to do something you can't do well--or even at all.  Research across domains shows that it is only by working at what you can't do that you turn into the expert you want to become." Anders Ericsson
    17:59 Feedback
    "We need to know where we are going wrong if we are going to improve."  Matthew Syed
    27:52 Iceberg Illusion
    "When we witness extraordinary feats...we are witnessing the end product of a process measured in years...we are laboring under the illusion that expertise is reserved for special people with special talents, inaccessible to the rest of us." Matthew Syed
    34:54 The Gap
    "World-class performance comes by striving for a target just out of reach, but with a vivid awareness of how the gap might be breached." Matthew Syed
    48:11 Deep Domain Knowledge
    "The most important ingredient in any expert system is knowledge.  Programs that are rich in general inference methods...but poor in domain-specific knowledge can behave expertly on almost no tasks." Bruce Buchanan, Randall, Davis, Edward Feigenbaum
    54:24 Zero-Sum Games and Economics
    57:54 Defining Moments
