Welcome to the Torg Stories Podcast April 30th, 2023 edition. Anne and I are opening with stories. We’re doing an NBA Playoff update, and get ready for a new feature: the NBA Playoff Player Pyramid.
Before Anne gets to her story, I have some story related observations and questions:
- What are some of the possible features that make for a story worth hearing?
- Okay, there’s been a decision to tell a story. What can make it good? What do good storytellers do?
- Going the other way: what makes for a bad story?
- The myth of the plot diagram or narrative arc: exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.
Our stories:
- The idea of listening with a pencil.
- Anne: almost mugged in Munich
- Bill: College visit to Randolph Macon. The Zoom meeting that starts at 2:00. The car rider line that starts at 2:45. Storms. 421, 40, 85, 95, Richmond. The crummy Holiday Inn Express. What makes a good/not good hotel?
NBA Playoff Update:
- West: Nuggets lead Suns 1-0. Warriors eliminate Kings to face Lakers in 2nd round.
- Curry scores playoff game 7 record 50 points. Looney 21 rebounds, 3rd game in series over 20 rebounds.
