Everyone has a story, but how do great storytellers draw listeners to even the most mundane stories? That's what Ira Glass, host and producer of "This American Life" demonstrated Saturday during his "Reinventing Radio" show in front of a sold out audience at the University of Montana in Missoula.
We enjoyed watching Glass constantly move around the stage and gesticulate dramatically while showing how plot (plot, plot, plot) combined with the power and intimacy of the human voice, can be used to keep audiences listening.
Did it work? What was your favorite part of the show? Leave a comment to tell us what you thought.
Don't forget you can hear Ira and friends every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. on MTPR.
