Lots of us meet our partners online these days, and have a happy, fulfilling relationship. But what's not so fulfilling for listeners who are looking for a story when they ask how we met? That common three-word answer: "we met online." After hearing that several times, I realized there was something missing in terms of story elements — and there's a lesson here for all of us writing podcast scripts and telling stories.

..........

Show notes:

* More on the four story elements

* Robert McKee's scriptwriting opus Story

* Our Narrative Foundations scriptwriting & editing workshop

.......... Do you have an idea for a narrative podcast, but aren't sure where to begin? You're in the right place. Storyscaping exists to equip and inspire anyone who wants to make a narrative podcast, and we'll do this with bite-size episodes that each excavate some part of the creative process. We cover specific parts of creating a narrative, story, or fiction podcast (like scriptwriting and editing, recording and narration, audio editing and sound design), as well as the creative practices and habits that are bigger than the medium of podcasting, and will set you up for long-term creative living.
