Ira Glass on Storytelling

Here are four 5 minute videos from Current TV of Ira Glass on Storytelling. The first one is really good on how to tell a story, you need two things and I'll let him tell you what those are. The second one is geared a bit more on if you do radio (or podcasting) professionally you need to spend as much time finding good material as you do producing it and you have to throw away bad stuff. The third is convincing you to keep trying through bad stuff and he gives a great example of a bad program from his own past and picks it apart. The last part is convincing you to be yourself and don't pretend to be someone else. Good stuff.
