It seems like everything’s been turned into a story lately.

You can see a company’s story on the packaging of juice, cereal, and alternative milks. Politicians tell stories to rally support for policies. And social media helps us all tell the story that we want to tell about our lives.

GUESTS:

  • Peter Brooks: Author of Seduced by Story: The Use and Abuse of Narrative

  • Elise Wang: Assistant professor in the Department of English, Comparative Literature, and Linguistics at California State University, Fullerton
