World Story Telling Day was originally created in Sweden to encourage people to tell stories and build better connections. This year’s theme “Building Bridges” seems particularly poignant.

In this snippet, Paul and Chris celebrate World Story Telling Day 2024 with a conversation about the history of the event, the role of story telling in bringing people together and a review of some of the episodes of The Common Creative with particular powerful story tellers.

Neal Ford (episode 83), James Hegarty (episode 99),  Gavin Blake (episode 94), Brock Swinton (episode 96), Professor Uri Hassen (episode 56), Rachel Barnard (episode 72) and Miranda West (episode 104) are all discussed.

Themes such as the importance of ensuring that stories have a message inside them, painting pictures in the mind, keeping a sense of humour and being brutal with editing are all brought to life.
