I really enjoyed the “Remember Your Story” episode with Thomas Krafft - such a lovely conversation to help us all remember to telling our life stories and how to remember the content when you’re on stage. Is it better to memorize it word for word or something else? Great tips!!
The once great storytelling podcast

I really enjoyed this podcast for a long time. Matthew has a systems approach to storytelling, and he is a great communicator. The structure of the podcast was consistent and I learned a lot from his examples and analysis. And then something happened. He became political. Something began to bleed from his personal life into the podcast, and whether he realized it or not, began to make subversive political statements and occasionally was insulting to people who didn’t think quite like him. That’s when he lost me.
Great stories!

I never knew storytelling was even a thing people did and worked on. I happened upon Matt who was a guest on another podcast I listen to and was so interested in his story and info so I started listening. So many great stories and I love hearing both his and his wife’s thoughts about the craft of storytelling. I absolutely loved the Storytelling Workshop Sneak Peek episode! It was soooo interesting to hear stories from beginners who are working on them. I hope they do another one like that. It also made me think I might enjoy participating in one of his workshops.
