Wednesday Guest Feature: 10 Incredible Storytelling Resources for Podcasters

This Wednesday’s guest feature takes Doug Fraser’s Pro Storytelling series on the road. The documentary filmmaker and podcaster behind What We Do shares 10 outstanding resources that can help podcasters pin down and illustrate compelling narratives. When the path gets away from us, where can we turn?

“Storytelling is at the heart of our lives — it’s how we teach and learn lessons, create art and take away a listener’s breath with an enthralling podcast,” Fraser writes. Some recommendations, like Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat, are classics. Others take cues from screenwriting masters, Pixar wizards, and beyond.

Hit podcasts have taught that nothing tops truly original storytelling style. Though the medium may be new, the arc of a successful story is as old as time. Read these, Fraser says, but use your instinct: “Pull the truths, triumphs, failures and sticky details from your life experiences and inject them into your stories.”
