Here Be Tygers

Hey all, What you’re about to hear is the first half of a much longer conversation on the four essential beats of narrative and how storytellers have used them both now and in the past to compel, inspire, repulse or attract.  As you listen, I invite you to think of your favorite stories—fiction or not—and why they’ve had such an impact. Then consider the most powerful moments you’re reminded of, and how you were moved from the first beat to the last. Oh and this was recorded during my recovery from cervical spine surgery. So if you hear a bit of a lisp at times (due to a few numbed or dead nerves), that’s why. I hope you enjoy. - J Show Notes  • Everything’s Coming up Podcast, now Round Springfield! • The former Cinefamily movie theater • Den of Geek on The Adventures of Pete and Pete • The Color out of Space, by HP Lovecraft; now a movie starring Nicholas Cage • The Caves of Steel series by Aasimov • Some iconic action films mentioned: Terminator 2, The Matrix, Die Hard, Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dolla
