storyteller

Alex, you're a very skilled storyteller. I enjoyed reading the post.

It's like we're being slapped in the face with whatever the storyteller wants us to feel. The obnoxious "honey" or "baby" or whatever the operator says to the robot is just...

He's a great historian and storyteller; I just could go without his analysis sometimes.

Sometimes we just want to sit back, relax, and let the storyteller tell their story. Watching Bruce Willis blow shit up on a screen is a completely different kind of entertainment than blowing shit up on a screen myself.

"Malcolm's a very good storyteller. He reads a few quirky scientific studies done on very small samples and weaves them into a myth about how if you blink for 10,000 hours you'll end up dyslexic but people will give you lots of money anyway."

> Hes a storyteller within the context of radio journalism, and I am a storyteller in the theater. This comment is pretty offensive.

He's very much a storyteller, but at the same time as he admits to weaving in his own opinions, he does at least do his dues as regards research. Some of the archive material he unearths is unbelievable, I swear he must just live on a camp bed in the BBC archive.

Finance is a boring topic generally, but Lewis focuses on the characters and is a superb storyteller. He has a real knack for being able to explain these complex, earth-shattering events in a way that those of us without PhD's in quantitative finance can understand.

Because pretty much all historical retellings are biased by the author/storyteller. There's both unintentional bias, and intentional bias in how historic events were portrayed.

Quite literally the storyteller was controlling the minds of the listeners. Apparently we are hard-wired to become entranced by stories, but there is a skill to telling them in a way that doesn't break the trance--or, as Teller talks about, leading people to a place where you can smash the trance in a dramatic way for maximum impact.

Nobody automatically deserves forgiveness, but I do think Lehrer is a giften enough storyteller that we should not necessarily consign him to the dustbin.

It's probably not word-for-word literally accurate, given that it is my ~10 year old recollection of a conversation and as an Irish storyteller I generally don't let facts get in the way of a Narrative. That said, this guy was routinely obnoxious enough to drive me to hatred just with classroom comments.

With the art of a storyteller, Reese synthesizes history, technology, and sociology into an exciting, fast-moving narrative that shows how technological change has had dramatic effects on humanity in the past. He then looks forward at the technological changes we know are coming--from genetics, nanotechnology, robotics, and many other fields--and explores how they will vastly increase wealth, prolong our lifespans, redefine human rights, and alter the social fabric of the world.
