00:00Hey Matt, do you have a favorite podcast at the moment?

00:03Yeah, I do. It's called the TED Radio Hour. It's produced by NPR Radio in America.

00:08It's a radio show, but they do a really great job of taking you on a journey through soundscapes,

00:14through really interesting topics. Like one of the ones I really loved is,

00:18it was about smell, and they interviewed somebody who was a smell historian,

00:22and they used audio to describe the battle scene and how it smelled at the Battle of Waterloo.

00:29Wow.

00:30Really impactful. I love it.

00:32That's amazing.

00:34What's yours?

00:35Mine at the moment is one called How Stories Happen,

00:39and it's by a guy called Jay Akunso, who's a bit of a brand storytelling guru.

00:43He's all about resonance over reach.

00:46And in this, he speaks to people who are very successful in their brands, in their business,

00:51and very successful storytellers, keynote speakers, that sort of thing,

00:54and he pulls apart their signature story.

00:57It's a behind-the-scenes into the story, and then he gets them to tell the story as well.

01:02And he's got a lovely soundscape with it. He plays around with music and has a lot of fun with that too.

01:06It's really interesting.

01:08I love that, because there's no boring stories, are there?

01:10No, there isn't.

01:11It shows that storytelling is a craft that you can actually learn and get better at.

01:17Everybody's story is really important,

01:19so it's wonderful that people are able to learn how to tell stories well.
